Chapter 200 Wudang Mountain Battle 2
Looking at the captured Hong Feiyan, Zhao Xiaofei laughed and said, "Do you think the tens of thousands of rebel troops down the mountain can hold me back? What a joke! Zuo Liangyu's army of nearly a million couldn't hold me back, and these peasants still want to hold me back? Tell me, who contacted your father and asked him to kill me?"
Hong Feiyan looked at Zhao Xiaofei with a fearless look on her face and said with a smile, "I won't tell you! Stop dreaming! If you want to kill me or shave me, do it to me!"
Zhao Xiaofei sneered, "It's easy to die these days, but it's hard to live! A lifetime is gone in the blink of an eye. Think about how young you are. Don't you want to leave a child for your father? The imperial physician has already said that you are two months pregnant. Don't you want to think about the child in your belly? Tell me and I will spare your life, and the child's life too! The child is innocent!"
"What? I'm pregnant?" Hong Feiyan was very surprised when she heard this, and her eyes suddenly became panicked. She shook her head and said, "No! This is not true! This is not true!"
Zhao Xiaofei continued to laugh, "You can't even admit the truth, and yet you're trying to imitate someone else in assassinating the emperor? What a joke! It's okay if you don't believe me. Think about it, how many months have you not had your period? Besides, haven't you noticed you're getting fatter and fatter, and eating more and more? You're incredible! You can still hold the title of the world's greatest female warrior while pregnant!" Zhao Xiaofei remembered what his elder brother had said: when a woman becomes pregnant, she produces a substance similar to a stimulant that can stimulate her potential. They couldn't find it during the physical examination. Sure enough, his elder brother hadn't tricked me.
Hong Feiyan was speechless and lowered her head. She thought of Yucheng, the senior brother who obeyed him in everything and gave in to her in everything. She was actually pregnant with his child! She said to Yucheng in her heart: Senior brother! Did you know? You're a father! We have a child! If you know about this, please bless us. I will definitely raise the child well and let him live a good life. I won't let him avenge us. As long as I can see him marry and have children, and continue our family line, that's enough.
Hong Feiyan gritted her teeth and looked at Zhao Xiaofei with cold eyes, saying to him, "I'll tell you!"
Zhao Xiaofei smiled and said, "Women are weak by nature, but they become strong as mothers! The ancients were right! Li Zichu, ask her! This king is about to preside over the battle at Wudang Mountain!"
"Yes! Your Highness!" Li Zichu said with a fist salute.
Zhao Xiaofei and Princess Kunxing, Zhu Mianzhu, gathered in the large tent to discuss the current situation. While the martial arts conference wasn't held on Mount Wudang, it was still located halfway up the mountain. Niu Wancai, Li Hao, and Lu Yingbiao's tens of thousands of troops were simply dreaming of completely encircling the Kenan Army. But Zhao Xiaofei had no desire to leave; he was eager for these rebels to arrive!
It turns out that Princess Kunxing Zhu Mianzhu's idea was to use the leapfrog tactic, using the surrounding small cities to surround the big city occupied by the rebels. And organize the victims to build roads, strengthen the defense of the surrounding small cities, and build watchtowers. It is simply the Ming Dynasty version of the blockade tactic, using bunkers as locks and roads as chains to completely trap the rebels. It must be said that Zhu Mianzhu's tactics are very stable. According to this method, the rebels can only break through or be trapped to death. I have to admit that my wife is a natural strategist. She has a lot of tactical thinking like Zeng Guofan. Zeng Guofan always lost the war with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Later, he summed up his experience and proposed the tactics of fighting stupid battles.
"Madam! Your tactics before were very good! This way, fewer people will die, and even without the Ke Nan Army, these Ming troops can protect themselves. This idea is very powerful, and now you can lead the army to fight on your own!" Zhao Xiaofei said with a smile.
"Then my husband, what kind of female general do you think I am? Liang Hongyu? Or Hua Mulan? Or Mu Guiying?" Princess Kunxing asked.
"Liang Hongyu was just a prostitute. How many people could Hua Mulan control? Mu Guiying was just a character in a picture novel. Only Wu Ding's wife Fu Hao was a real strategist. Without her, China today might be the same as India!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
Zhu Mianchu was embarrassed by Zhao Xiaofei's praise. Fu Hao was first mentioned in the Book of Songs. There were archaeologists in the Ming Dynasty, but they didn't dig up tombs, only searching through historical records. Only the truly cultured people in the Ming Dynasty knew about Fu Hao. Ordinary people only knew about Mulan, Mu Guiying, and Liang Hongyu; the rest of the world was completely clueless. Zhu Mianchu didn't know either, but Zhao Xiaofei was there! She knew everything! Although she was happy, if she compared herself to Fu Hao, did she really mean to compare herself to Wu Ding?
Zhu Mianzhu smiled and asked, "My dear husband! I am Fu Hao! So you are King Wu Ding of Shang?"
"He is a king and the ruler of the world! How can I compare with him! It's enough for us to live our own lives well! It's not easy to be an emperor! You don't have to test me. I will not usurp your brother's throne! You don't have to worry about this!" After saying that, he gently lifted a strand of Zhu Mianzhu's black hair and put it behind her ear.
"Aren't you afraid that after we die, our children will be the same as Zhang Juzheng's descendants?" Zhu Mianzhu said.
"I have thought about it a long time ago! If the Ming Dynasty restores the capital and the country is stable, we will take a boat to Nan'ao!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"Really?" Zhu Mianzhu asked.
"Really! It's truer than real gold! I don't want my child to be in danger! Let's build a new paradise there!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"I don't know if the war in Nan'ao has subsided. Are my parents-in-law still alive? I, as their daughter-in-law, have never shown any filial piety," Zhu Mianzhu said. When Zhao Xiaofei first arrived in the capital, he lied and said he was a prince of Nan'ao, saying that Nan'ao was in chaos.
Zhao Xiaofei really wanted to tell her the truth, but now was not the time. Li Sihong thought she was just going to Taixu Fairyland, so she should not cause trouble for herself.
"My wife! When we arrive in South Australia, I will tell you a secret." Zhao Xiaofei said.
"What secret? Can you tell me now?" Zhu Mianzhu said, pulling Zhao Xiaofei's sleeve.
Just as Zhao Xiaofei was about to say he'd talk about it later, he heard the sound of cannon fire outside. Boom boom boom, the sound of cannon fire continued. At this moment, Wanshan walked into the tent and said to Zhao Xiaofei and the princess, "Your Highness and Princess, the enemy has begun to attack the mountain! I request your instructions. Should we attack?"
"General Wan, you have more experience in leading troops than my husband and me. You can handle this matter! Anyway, just try your best to catch these rebels in one fell swoop and don't let them escape back to Xi'an!" Zhu Mianzhu said.
"I understand! Take your leave!" Wanshan bowed and left.
Seeing Wan Shan withdraw, Zhu Mianzhuo said, "My husband! This General Wan is your man. If we leave, what will happen to him and General Zhou?"
