Chapter 366: The War Resumes
Over there, the news of Geng Bingwen's fiasco was reported to the Beijing Division, and Zhu Yunwen was shocked and summoned the ministers to discuss the change of commander. The favored minister Huang Zicheng has a very personal relationship with Cao Guogong Li Jinglong, and he is full of scholarly spirit, so it is desirable to explore the corner of Yandi. At the moment, it is only said that Li Jinglong is wise and brave, both civil and military, and can be used to be handsome.
Zhu Yunwen didn't know much about military warfare, and he was convinced of Huang Zicheng's words. At the moment, he was in a hurry to go to the hospital and ignored the opposition of his ministers, and then worshiped Li Jinglong as the general to conquer Yan, gave seals, books, axes, and rhino belts and other holy weapons, allocated 500,000 soldiers and horses from all walks of life to his command, and carried out the gift of pushing the hub to the Yangtze River outside the city.
That Li Jinglong received such an imperial favor, and he was full of ambition to show off his strength and might, and ordered all walks of life to march forward. The news spread to Beiping, and Zhu Di's palace gathered the generals to discuss. Before it was a long time, another sentinel came to report, saying that Wu Gao, Yang Wen, and Geng Zhen raised Liaodong soldiers and horses to besiege Yongping.
The generals were somewhat shocked when they heard the news, and Dao Yan muttered on his side: "The officials and troops are coming from the southeast and southeast to make it difficult for me to take care of the land. Although Li Jinglong has no strategy, he has many soldiers and generals, and it is difficult to win, so it is better to relieve the siege of Yongping first and then think about pouring troops to break the enemy in a battle!"
Zhu Di stared at his eyebrows and paced for a long time, saying that the generals said: "That's right! Yang Wen and his husband are not worried, but Wu Gao is the son of Wu Liang, the Duke of Jiangguo, although he is timid by nature, he still has some strategies. Geng Zhen wants to save face for his father Geng Bingwen, and it is also tricky to determine his life. If we engage with the southern army, there will be chaos on the other side, and only after we can calm this road first, but then we can fight the decisive battle with the vertical Li Jinglong under the city of Beiping!"
After hearing this, the generals felt that if this was the case, Li Jinglong knew that Beiping was empty and would come to surround and fight, which was too dangerous, but there was no good plan, so they all obeyed. Zhu Di did his best to move east at the starry night to relieve the difficulty of Yongping, and only let the prince Gao Chi lead the elite soldiers to stick to Beiping City to protect the families of the soldiers, and repeatedly told him not to go to war when he pulled out the camp.
Liu Shaoyang knew that Zhu Di's move was so risky, and he intended to put the three armies on the map to death. However, the slightest mistake in the military was lost, so when he left, he entrusted Shui Xuanling to take care of Ye Xiaoqing's mother and son, and left Jin Xuance in the army to take care of him.
That Wu Gao thought that Li Jinglong's 500,000 army of the Northern Expedition Yan Division would not dare to look east, so he was edicted to ask Yan to lead the Liaodong soldiers to besiege Yongping City. Seeing that he could get the credit for conquering, he suddenly heard that Zhu Di personally led the main force of the Yan army to the east. When he was suspicious, he scolded Li Jinglong for delaying the warplane, and he ignored Geng Zheng's persuasion and withdrew his division to Shanhaiguan.
Zhu Di's soldiers got a military report on the way, and immediately ordered Zhang Yu to chase after him. Yang Wen led the army to the palace, and when he saw that the Yan division was covering up and the lineup was scattered, he thought that he would have the opportunity to privately lead the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to return to fight.
He didn't know that Zhang Yu had the intention of confusing the enemy, and such a move was in the middle of it. Yan Shijing's two wings were outflanked and encircled, and the officers and soldiers were cowardly when they were not clear, and they were cut down by nearly 10,000 under the rush. Geng Rong's soldiers came to the rescue and were also defeated, so far the soldiers and horses of Liaodong did not build an inch in the south, and they ended up with more than 10,000 soldiers in vain.
Zhu Di's defeat of the Liaodong Army to increase the defense of Yongping has been completed, and he is about to return to Beiping to fight Li Jinglong again. Suddenly, the sentinel cavalry flew to report that Li Jinglong's soldiers and horses had been thin under the city of Beiping, besieging the nine gates, building fortifications, and forming a camp, and the hundreds of thousands of people in Zutun had not yet attacked.
The generals were anxious to return to Beiping, but Dao Yan shook his head and stopped: "Li Jinglong is building a fortified company camp in Beiping City, just to wait for our army to attack and return. His Royal Highness has fallen for this thief's trick at this moment, and the difference between victory and defeat is unpredictable. Why don't you order the soldiers to repair and wait for the southern army to besiege the city, and then the rats who are driven to the broken will be scattered as birds and beasts! Besides, there is a tiger division and a brigade in Tunza, and the poor monk dares to ask His Highness to borrow it in person!"
When everyone heard him say that there were still elite soldiers, they all looked at each other, and the second prince Zhu Gaoxi was impatient, and couldn't help but say: "Most of my father's Yan divisions and horses are gathered here, where are there any strong teams available." At present, the 500,000 soldiers and horses of the imperial court are in danger, how can the master of life and death laugh!" Dao Yan saw that he didn't know what he wanted, so he smiled slightly and was silent.
Zhu Di silently pondered Huo and raised his eyebrows, and asked: "The Tiger Master Rui Brigade mentioned by the master is not referring to the Duoyan Sanwei and 80,000 armor soldiers under the command of my brother King Ning?"
Dao Yan clasped his palms together, bowed down and said with a smile: "Your Highness's talent is roughly born with a dragon species, if you have the arm of the master of Ning Kingdom to help the world, it will be a matter of time!"
