Chapter 754 The Sui people who fled Fengping City Like Qingyuan City, after Murong Yongduo was defeated in Nanyan and the He people were massacred, Fengping sealed the border and did not allow anyone to enter or exit, even by walking. Merchants living in the world are not allowed to go further north, and those who disobey the order will be beheaded. Perhaps it is precisely because he experienced the war that destroyed the Great Shang Dynasty that Zhu Supportian is one of the few people in the Southern Yan court who knows the Sui army very well. Therefore, his attitude is more correct than Fu Zhengnan's. Even though Dashang was corrupt back then, it still had a well-equipped army of one million people and countless generals with real talents and learning. Wasn't it completely defeated? Zhu Zhitian had thought countless times that if the merchant army had persisted on the south bank of the Yangtze River for a while longer, even if it had blocked them for one more month, he would not have delayed returning to Yongzhou. Precisely because the Shang army was defeated too quickly and completely, Zhu Zhitian knew that even if he led his troops back, he would be unable to make a comeback. What's more, the emperor of the Shang State at that time suddenly realized that most of his men were unreliable, so he began to prepare to take back military power. If Zhu Supportian goes back, the Emperor of Shang will most likely take back every one of his men. When it was clear that the Shang State could no longer withstand the Sui offensive, Zhu Zhitian chose to resist the imperial decree without much hesitation. In troubled times, there is nothing more reassuring than holding an army in hand. Decades have passed, but Zhu Zhitian still has not forgotten that war. He knew that the Great Sui Dynasty was also in chaos, but he also knew that the Great Sui Dynasty's army was still strong. Compared with the Nanyan army, the Sui people's domineering attitude on the battlefield is still there. ?????????????????? However, at first this kind of domineering power was directed against external enemies, but now, it is against them in their own dens. Fang Jie¡¯s men were able to sweep through the coalition forces of Murong Yongduo and Tuhunduo on the Pingshang Road, which proves that the Sui army is still unparalleled in strength. In this case, Zhu Zhitian 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 has been running Yongzhou. This is his nest, a fortress he has built with all his efforts. He is confident that as long as he does not go out, no one can Come in easily. The city defense was handed over to the young man named Dingcheng. The reason why Zhu Zhitian made such a decision was because he knew that this young man had an unconvinced spirit in his bones and knew how to endure. If it weren't for him being cautious and decisive enough, he would have had no chance to escape when his family participated in Prince Yi Yang Yin's failed conspiracy in Chang'an and was executed. ¡°And this man has been personally taught by his father since he was a child, and he is very insightful in the art of war. After all, his father was once a famous general among the Sixteenth Guards of the Sui Dynasty. When the Sui army went south to destroy the Shang Dynasty, Zhu Supportian had heard of his father's name, and he had written letters to his father in order to protect himself. A few years ago, the general and he had resumed contact, and they had been exchanging letters. At that time, Zhu Supportian was still surprised, how could the general in charge of one of the six armies of the Emperor Sui suddenly think of him. Later, when the young man fled and came to Fengping, Zhu Zhan suddenly realized that those letters were not written by the general at all, but by this young man. This person¡¯s scheming is evident. Zhu Zhitian guessed that when the young man knew that his father might rebel, he began to prepare a way out for himself. He must have checked out all the people who had contact with his father and selected those he could rely on to remember. He would not choose the Sui people, because once his father was defeated, the situation would immediately fall and everyone would push him away, and no one would dare to take him in. So he chose Zhu Supportian, so a few years ago, he began to write letters to Zhu Supportian in his father's name. Zhu Zhitian guessed this, but didn't point it out. How could a young man who started preparing for his own future a few years ago be a simple person? What's more, this person was one of the four famous figures praised in Chang'an City. If it weren't for Fang Jie's brilliant performance in the martial arts academy entrance examination, he would have been the most outstanding person. After this person arrived in Fengping City, Zhu Zhitian specially sent someone to Chang'an City to find out his details. The people who came back told Zhu Zhitian that this young man had a wide circle of friends when he was in Chang'an. He not only mingled with the children of aristocratic families, but also had a romantic relationship with many people in the market. When he was in the Yanwu Academy, he clearly regarded Fang Jie as his opponent, and Fang Jie was also his biggest obstacle to making his debut. But on the surface, he was very close to Fang Jie, and he was one of the few children from the aristocratic family who had a close relationship with Fang Jie. One of the nice guys. Precisely because he had such friendships, he had many friends in Chang'an who were not on the stage, and he was able to escape when the Sui Dynasty was cleaning up the rebels. Then he did not seek refuge with any relatives or friends in the Sui Dynasty, and went straight to Nanyan after coming out of Chang'an. This kind of decisiveness,?How many people can do it? City Lord's Mansion Study Room "Sir, are you really planning to hand over all the military power to that person?" Zhu Supportian's trusted general Yu Mingli was a little confused and a little unwilling. He had been following Zhu Supportian for twenty years, and it seemed that he hadn't just come yet. The boy who had been in Feng Pingcheng for two years was taken even more seriously. It took him twenty years to climb to the position of one of the six generals under the city lord, but that boy climbed up in two years and was called the Seventh Master. Now it seems that this seventh master is more popular than the first six of them. "You are dissatisfied." Zhu Supportian put down the Chunqiu in his hand and glanced at Yu Mingli. He pointed at the yellowed book and asked, "I have been reading this book for decades. If I hadn't saved it, The good ones have been turned over a long time ago. But why haven¡¯t I bought a new one now? This is not an isolated copy. You can buy the nine volumes of Spring and Autumn at any bookstore for just a few bucks.¡± "I don't understand." Yu Mingli shook his head, but what he was thinking about was why the city lord suddenly said such irrelevant words? "Because I am nostalgic." Zhu Zhitian smiled and said: "I always like familiar things, such as my armor. It has been worn for decades and repaired dozens of times, but I still haven't replaced it. For example, the wooden comb I use to comb my hair has lost seven or eight teeth, but I still haven't thrown it away. For example, the chair I'm sitting on now is no younger than you and has become loose, but I still like to sit on it. " Yu Mingli's expression changed and he understood. "I understand, my subordinates!" "I feel sorry for these old items that are lost or damaged, not to mention you old subordinates who have been with me for decades? The war is coming. If you lead the troops, you will go into battle. You will be cold and blind. , If I hurt you, I would feel bad. He is in Fengping but not in Fengping. In other words, you treat me as your master, but he only treats me as his backer. , my backer is not important anymore.¡± ¡°So, leave the fighting to him.¡± Yu Mingli said: ¡°But since you don¡¯t trust this person, if you give him the military power, if he " "He is not stupid, and he is smarter than most people. He knows that he is not strong enough to leave me yet, and he still needs to rely on me, so he does not dare to make mistakes in the past two years. , I¡¯m not blind. I can¡¯t see how he¡¯s messing around with my people in my house? He doesn¡¯t try to win over you because he knows he can¡¯t I brought you here all by myself. He doesn¡¯t. He dares to provoke those young generals, so he is more courageous. But he forgets that this is my territory after all. " "He is not strong enough yet, so he can't live without Feng Ping. He will try his best to defend this place. So you can rest assured that the soldiers I give him will be used to defend the city. Besides, even if he wants to use my soldiers to do something dirty, how can I use them? Is it that easy to fool?" "You know it in your heart, so I can rest assured." Yu Mingli bowed his head. "I'm old." Zhu Zhitian smiled and said: "But I'm not that old yet. People say that foxes get more cunning as they get older, and trees get tougher as they get older. These words are not unreasonable. Mingli, go back and talk to the five of them. Tell them, the importance of the six of you has not changed at all in my heart." "Sir!" Yu Mingli leaned over and said, "We will follow you to the death!" "Go," said Zhu Zhitian. I handed over the east gate to Dingcheng. You guys take turns guarding the other three gates. Don¡¯t slack off. If you lose to the young people, I won¡¯t favor you, right?¡± ¡°Here!¡± Yu Mingli said: "Don't worry, sir. No matter how stupid we are, we were all trained by you. How can we lose to others?" "Haha" Zhu Zhitian laughed and said, "It's good to have this confidence. Sooner or later I will go back." If Feng Ping is saved, I will choose one of the six of you to inherit. This is what I said many years ago, and it still counts. Although Zhu Ding is sent by the family, he has no choice. He wants to take over the position of city lord, but he doesn't have the ability. Young people are inevitably impetuous. If I didn't really want you six to be in danger, I wouldn't leave it to him to lead the troops to Qingyuan City this time. You are not young anymore. Fighting, going into battle, and killing people, leave these things to those young and powerful young men. You just use your brains and mouths in the back. If you can't learn this, how can you take care of Feng Ping for me? " Yu Mingli was moved in her heart, and there was hot liquid swirling in her eye sockets. He was just about to say something when he heardThere were soldiers running over quickly and shouting urgently: "Master! Zhu Ding is back with thousands of defeated soldiers! He was just outside the city gate and wanted to come in, but General Yu ordered not to open the city gate and refused to let him go. General Zhu¡¯s men are coming in!¡± Yu Mingli¡¯s expression changed: ¡°This is an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf! Zhu Ding has the best relationship with him on weekdays, but now that Zhu Ding is back, he is actually blocking us from entering the city! Bing, are you just watching like that!" "Don't make any noise!" Zhu Zhitian's face didn't look good either. He was silent for a while and said, "Follow me to the city wall and don't open the city gate until I get there! Even if Dingcheng has a wild mind, there is no reason to stop Zhu Ding from coming in. There must be something fishy about this matter Outside the east gate of Feng Ping City, Zhu Ding twisted his body uneasily, feeling his waist and eyes. The tip of the knife is so cold. It didn't feel good at all. All the muscles in his body were tense. He was afraid that if he wasn't careful, the knife would penetrate through his lower back. "Keep shouting!" Chen Xiaoru loosened the knife forward and pierced the destined skin. "Definite submission!" Zhu Ding was startled and continued to shout: "You are so unreasonable! I was attacked and defeated in the valley, and the pursuers are behind me. You and I usually have a good relationship, why don't you open the city? Door!" The young general standing on the tower frowned, put down his clairvoyance and shouted: "General Zhu! It's not that I don't want to open the city gate, but that I gave him a death order. No one is allowed to open the door without his order. "Just wait, I'll be here soon!" "You're too damn bullying!" Zhu Ding also got angry and pointed at the man and yelled, "You won't be able to see me when I get in!" The Zhu family took you in, you are just a lost dog! I, the Zhu family, gave you shelter! What the hell do you have to stand in the back line? Fang Jie suddenly felt something in his heart and couldn't help but look towards the city wall. He wanted to see clearly who the Sui man Zhu Ding was talking about who was fleeing for his life!
