After spending most of the day, the soldiers began to get tired, and waiting like this was even more torturous than fighting on the battlefield. I know the unwillingness in Zhu Di's heart, but there is no way, the enemy is in a high place, and he can't use artillery, so he can't help them at all. I got on my horse and paced to Zhu Di's side, leaned over and whispered, "Lord Wang, go back." ”

"Do you want to go back like this for two days in a row?" Zhu Di gritted his teeth, his eyes swept towards the city tower, with the fire of hatred.

"Nothing is already doomed. Do you still want to underestimate this person in Chenglou Mountain now? I also looked upstairs, and Iron String was looking at me from above, with a solemn face, as if he had infinite thoughts.

Zhu Di breathed a long sigh of relief and waved his hand to Zhang Yu, "Order to retreat." ”

Zhang Yu was so angry that he slammed the sharp knife on his body into the ground and shouted, "Retreat!" ”

Although it was autumn, there was already a wind, and the wind blowing from the north was mixed with a trace of mysterious coldness, Zhu Di watched the columns of soldiers walking past him, and whispered, "It's time to add cotton clothes." ”

I reached out to catch a falling maple leaf, and the fiery red turned into a flame in my hand, but it couldn't warm it.

"Ahem, cough, cough ......" a young general walked past me, his face was red from coughing, he was afraid of losing his honor in front of the coach, and quickly covered his mouth with his hand, but he coughed even more.

"Hey, stop." I shouted to him on horseback. When the little guy saw that he was being noticed, he was so frightened that he quickly knelt down, and said with a shrunken voice, "The boss spares his life, the little one should be damned, the little one should be damned!" ”

Zhu Di frowned and said, "Get up, let the military doctor go and show you." ”

Seeing that Zhu Di not only did not blame him, the little soldier also asked him to go to the doctor very caringly, and after kowtowing and thanking him, he got up and ran away.

I glanced at Zhu Di and said in a low voice, "The clothing fee of hundreds of thousands of troops is not a small amount, can we still get it now?" Zhu Di raised his eyes slightly to look at me, took a deep breath, didn't say anything, and walked forward with the reins.

At this time, Sanbao followed up and said in a low voice, "Don't ask the prince about this, our military salary is almost running out, and if it drags on, I'm afraid that the soldiers' diet will not be able to keep up, and where will there be money to buy cotton clothes." I frowned, "If that's the case, how can you survive?" Tie Xian is not only persevering, but also scheming, as long as they stay up to the imperial court to deliver materials or troops, with his leadership, I am afraid that it will not be the same situation as Li Jinglong led the troops in the past. ”

"That's why the prince decided to flood Jinan City after thinking about it a lot before......" As soon as San Baofu finished speaking, he felt speechless, and after glancing at me, he said, "Forget it, that matter has passed, the prince has listened to your advice and removed the water." The southern army and the northern army, the southern people and the northern people, there will always be one side to suffer, or in other words, both sides will suffer, who can say that it will be certain? ”

I was speechless, Mu Mu looked at Sanbao also walked forward, had to get off the horse, led the horse slowly on the side, and gradually the army also threw me down, until everyone was almost invisible, suddenly heard a sound of horses' hooves galloping, I looked up, only to see Zhu Yanxue sitting straight on the horse's back, looking at me condescendingly.

"What are you going to do?" I asked nonchalantly.

Zhu Yanxue looked at the gate of Jinan and said with a smile, "Look at how impregnable this city is." I heard that someone used a broken wooden card to resist the 100,000 heroes of the Yan army, which was a strange story, and I had to come and see it. The man who came up with the idea was only afraid that he would be sought after by 10,000 people in Jinan City tonight, and the higher his prestige, the higher the walls of this city, the thicker and more difficult it was to destroy. And the Yan army can only be in the cold and hungry, like fish on the chopping board, to be slaughtered. ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?" I glanced at Zhu Yanxue and said impatiently.

Zhu Yanxue smiled at me, "What I want to say is that the current situation is all because of your words, it is really a red face that is worth a thousand gold, and your anger is worth not only a thousand gold, but also thousands of troops." ”

I stepped onto the horse, drove the horse up, and quickly left, still laughing behind me. I didn't run away like this because of her ridicule, I ran away because everything she said was reality. If it weren't for my momentary kindness to dissuade Zhu Di from flooding the city, Zhu Di would not have to face such a situation now, and he would not have been forced to be cornered like this.

I ran wildly on the horse for a while, after all, to no avail, until dark, I slowly returned to the camp, stepped into the tent, just lit the candle, but found a figure sitting in my tent, I was almost frightened, take a closer look, only to find that it is Zhu Di.

"Lord Wang...... How are you here. I asked, stumbling.

Zhu Di didn't answer, just looked at me gently, not moving. I walked up to him and put down the candlestick, the light of the beans flickered, and Zhu Di's face flickered brightly and darkly, resolute and soft.

"Am I ...... Gone wrong? Zhu Di's voice was a little hoarse and a little confused.

"What......" I looked him in the eye and didn't know how to answer.

"You know what I'm asking, I'm asking you, am I going the wrong way, shouldn't I be difficult, should I be like King Zhou and King Xiang at the beginning, be caught with my hands tied, or end up with myself...... In short, you shouldn't be delusional and think that you can change your fate......"

"No, it's not like this, everything will always encounter obstacles, even if it's in a hurry, it is impossible for a road to be extremely prosperous, and it will definitely encounter thorns, so that you will cherish it more when you reach your destination."

"You're right, whatever is easy to get your hands on, you won't cherish it. My father spent half of his life, almost sacrificing his life to take this country, because he was more serious in the second half of his life, but not more lax than before, guarding this country for his descendants, and Yun Wei, effortlessly, got the whole world, what he is doing now is too uncherished! Zhu Di's forehead faintly showed green tendons, and his fists were clenched tightly, full of unwillingness.

I put my hand on his fist and said softly, "How do you know if the emperor is not cherished?" It was because he cherished it too much that he embarked on the road of cutting the domain. ”

Zhu Di's eyes were full of confusion, "You mean, everyone is cherishing?" So how am I going to take over the world? ”

I let go of his fist and whispered, "Not all efforts will be rewarded, so what's the use of cherishing those spring and autumn leaves?" What doesn't belong to you will only pass away with the flowing water. Many things are born with a master, even if they are temporarily exiled, there will always be a moment of return. In this world, he was born to be the first emperor, it is yours, not Zhu Yunwen's, he just shakes it temporarily, and if it is not hot, he will lose it again. ”

Zhu Di's breath became heavier and heavier, and his eyes looked at me more and more firmly, and he held my hand with his backhand.

"Lord Wang! Oh no! Before Zhu Di could say anything, Sanbao's voice sounded outside the tent, and he directly slammed the curtain in, knelt on one knee, and clenched his hands into fists, "Lord Wang!" ”

I can't help but be surprised, in this barracks full of barbaric and rough men, Sanbao is only afraid that he is the most gentle and elegant person, even in the noble palace, he is also polite everywhere, and he can do it without leaking, and now, he didn't even have time to ask outside the door, so he broke in, and he didn't care that Zhu Di and I were talking, something must have happened!

"What's wrong?" Zhu Di also stood up and asked, he knew Sanbao no less than me, Sanbao was in such a hurry, he was also a little panicked.

"Tie Xian opened the city gate, but instead of surrendering, he came with an army of 100,000!"

"What!" Zhu Di couldn't help but shoot the case.

Not only Zhu Di filmed the case, everyone was shocked by Tie Xian's behavior, he actually followed Li Jinglong all the way behind Li Jinglong during Li Jinglong's escape to silently collect those scattered southern troops, all the way to Jinan, when he retreated all the way to Jinan, he actually gradually collected 100,000 troops, these days he let these defeated troops who Wen Yan changed color in Jinan City to recuperate, and didn't let them do anything, as long as they watched how they pressed Zhu Di step by step, until today, Zhu Di left in a defeat, and those southern troops in the city finally believed that Tie Xian was not Li Jinglong, Following him may not be defeated, Zhu Di is not an undefeated god of war, he will bow to the iron string. Their confidence was picked up again by the Iron Strings, and their honor as warriors was once again boosted by the Iron Strings. After they were full of wine and food, they picked up knives, guns and sticks, and bravely counterattacked Zhu Di.

Morale is something that cannot be touched or seen, but it is essential. At this time, Tie Xian had morale, but Zhu Di's subordinates had no morale, and they also felt the frustration of coach Zhu Di. Seeing that the situation was not right, Sanbao Yue Longcheng and others had to lead the army to fight and retreat, and even let Tie Xian chase all the way and snatch Texas back.

It's November again, and the wind is bitterly cold, and the bitter cold is coming. Zhu Yanxue was ordered to transport back a batch of cotton clothes from Xu Yunhua, the princess of Yan in Beiping City, and finally drove away the cold of the soldiers a little.

Zhu Di was not in the camp at this time. There was an open fire in the mountains, I rode a horse and slowly leaned over, Zhu Di did not bring any subordinates, he made such a fire alone, and was drying his hands while looking at the flames.

I dismounted and walked over, "What did you see in the fire?" ”

Zhu Di looked at me and smiled, "I don't believe in any gods. I only believe in myself. ”

"King Yan, who doesn't believe in gods and only believes in himself, was pursued all the way by the southern army and retreated to the north of Texas. Are you surrendering to the imperial court? I unbuckled my cloak and sat down by the fire, "It's cold." ”

"Winter is coming." Zhu Di looked at the flame road.

"Winter is coming, and spring is just around the corner."
