Dai Yue was also shocked.

Zhu Youzhen, who had been silent for several years, shined in the just-concluded Pinglu Campaign, not only evacuating more than 100,000 people from Qingzhou, but also preserving Tai'an. This made the eldest prince Zhu Youyu Group, who had not listed Zhu Youzhen as an opponent, once again vigilant.

Because Zhu Youzhen's move this time was completed with the strong support of Cao Xuan of the Tianping Army. This shows that at least Cao Xuan and Zhu Youzhen have a very good relationship.

Of course, both of them were captured by Li Ze, and their friendship may have been formed at that time.

Cao Xuan, as the three marshals allied with Zhu Wen and Dai Chao, and Zhu Wen's earliest supporters, his political status in Daliang is self-evident.

If that's all it takes, Zhu Youyu Group won't care too much, because the Tianping Army in the Battle of Luzhou, like Zhu Youzhen, also suffered heavy losses, and the current Tianping Army has tried its best to hold the balance and resist Tianping's subordinates, and there is no need to worry about it, even if it supports Zhu Youzhen, it will not hinder the overall situation.

But when Zhu Youzhen's army suddenly appeared in Wuning and captured Guide, the situation was very different.

Because it involves a place and a person that no one dares to ignore in the slightest. That is Xuanwu Festival Town and Xuanwu Liuhou Zhu Chi.

Xuanwu is the base camp of the Zhu family, and Zhu Chi is the number one person in the Zhu family's base camp, if this person falls to Zhu Youzhen, then for Zhu Youyu Group, Zhu Youzhen will immediately become the first competitor.

Now that Zhu Youzhen's troops have quietly raided Wuning through the area under the jurisdiction of Xuanwujie Town, they can already explain a lot of problems.

"The Third Highness's attack on Wuning is definitely not the intention of His Majesty, nor is it the intention of the imperial court." Dai Yue looked at Pang Xun who was glaring at him, and said categorically: "Otherwise, my eldest brother will definitely know, Pang Shuai, you also know that it is my eldest brother who has the final say in the court now." ”

"Since it's not the intention of the imperial court, could it be that Zhu Youzhen made his own opinion?" Pang Xun said angrily.

Dai Yue nodded affirmatively: "It must be so." Pang Shuai, you also know that His Royal Highness has lost all the elites under his command since the first battle of Luzhou, and he himself has been captured, and after coming back, he has been seriously injured and has been recuperating, and the whole person has been abolished. ”

"How can a wasted man do such a thing?"

"When he came out of the mountain again this time, we only thought that he was unwilling to be lonely, but we didn't expect him to be ambitious." Dai Yue sneered: "Pang Shuai, I just want to tell you that this matter is definitely his private army, so even if he dies in your hands, the court will never hold you half responsible." ”

Pang Xun's brow furrowed.

"Don't worry too much!" Dai Yue smiled: "Don't be scared by Zhu Youzhen." He doesn't have many troops at his disposal. Eighty or ninety percent of his subordinates were young men who had just been recruited from Qingzhou, and they didn't have much combat experience. His reliance was nothing more than the 3,000 Xuanwu troops that Cao Bin brought out from Chang'an. And he took Guide, and it was already very clear in the intelligence, a sneak attack. It's okay to do something like this once, but is it possible to have a next time? ”

Pang Xun's fists gradually clenched.

"Just under the city of Xuzhou, Zhu Youzhen's troops will be completely defeated." Daiyue Road.

"It doesn't matter if you kill Zhu Youzhen?" Pang Xun asked rhetorically.

Dai Yue smiled: "Of course it doesn't matter, if you really kill him, then maybe someone will thank you very much." ”

"Very good, very good, since Zhu Youzhen has already called the door, I naturally don't have to be polite." Pang Xun nodded slowly: "At the same time, I also want to give Your Majesty an excerpt and ask what this is for?" ”

"Of course." Dai Yue said: "Excerpt, I can send it on my behalf." ”

Pang Xun looked at each other and said lightly: "Is Dai Changshi leaving?" ”

"Of course I want to go back, if I don't go back, how can I immediately transfer a group of troops and horses to Wuning?" Dai Yue laughed.

Pang Xun's eyes flashed, and he said after a while: "How long will it take you?" ”

"You and I are originally neighbors, and after I go back, I will mobilize troops and horses to rush to Xuzhou, and it will take ten days at most." Dai Yue said: "When the time comes, I will copy their back road, you and I have two families, two kinds of flanking attacks, and annihilate them all in Xuzhou, of course, Pang Shuai, you have to allow the army I brought back under the banner of your Wuning Army." ”

Pang Xun has already understood what Dai Yue meant, and he dares to love Dai Yue, this is to borrow a knife to kill people!

But it doesn't matter.

Zhu Youzhen has been killed at his own door, so what if he kills him? This lawsuit, wherever it goes, is the responsibility of himself.

Dai Yue took the initiative to send troops over, which is also a good thing, they don't want to publicize it, which is equivalent to a handle falling into their own hands, if Zhu Youyu turns against him in the future, then the charge of conspiracy to kill his brother depends on whether he can afford it.

"Okay." Pang Xun nodded and said, "Then it's decided, let's annihilate the opponent under Xuzhou City." ”

Dai Yue left Xuzhou in a hurry, and in his opinion, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If Zhu Youzhen can be killed directly in the Wuning area, then people like Tianping Zhu Xuan and Xuanwu Zhu Chi will have no object to support, except for allegiance to His Royal Highness Zhu Youyu, do they have any other choice?

Of course not.

This is obviously the most cost-effective way for the girder. Otherwise, Zhu Youzhen will gain momentum, and it will obviously be much more troublesome than the second Zhu Youzhen.

Killing Zhu Youzhen here will make Daliang more united internally and more powerful externally. This is Dai Yue's simplest cognition, for this reason, he did not hesitate to cut the first and then play, after rushing back to Gunhai, while urgently mobilizing troops and horses to prepare to enter Wuning, he sent an urgent letter to his eldest brother Dai Chao who was far away in Chang'an.

Pang Xun began to assemble an army in Xuzhou City. The loss of 10,000 soldiers and horses in Guide made him lose his strength greatly, but near Xuzhou City, he still gathered nearly 30,000 soldiers in a short period of time, and with the more than 10,000 elites under his direct command, he constituted the main force of the Battle of Xuzhou. The troops stationed in other areas were also ordered to quickly concentrate on Xuzhou City. If these county governments reacted quickly, he would be able to gather 50,000 to 80,000 soldiers and horses in Xuzhou City.

However, Pang Xun's plan is clearly not going to succeed. Zhu Youzhen's army came faster than expected. On the fifth day after he received the information, Tian Guofeng, the vanguard of the Zhu Army, led more than 3,000 cavalry to capture Fengxian and crush the army that was gathering there. Only a day later, they attacked Peixian again, once again defeating the 3,000 soldiers who were gathering there. In the following days, this cavalry moved to one place almost a day, erratic, and fought rapidly, never attacking the city, mainly attacking the troops and supplies that were ready to gather to support Xuzhou City from all over Wuning.

On the tenth day, Pang Xun finally understood that it was impossible for any more reinforcements to arrive in the vicinity. He will rely on the 10,000 elites and 30,000 government soldiers who were first assembled in Xuzhou City to meet Zhu Youzhen.

But in his opinion, this is almost enough.

His troops were not in order, but Zhu Youzhen's troops were even worse. After arranging 5,000 defenders on Kuishan Mountain and 5,000 guards on Dahuangshan, the remaining troops gathered in Xuzhou City, and the three places were horns for each other to support each other.

After Pang Xun made these arrangements, Zhu Youzhen had already led the support troops to catch up with Cao Bin's department. Tens of thousands of troops were stationed in Jing'an for their final rest. At this time, Zhu Youzhen was more than 20,000 people, and along the way, they captured and integrated a large number of Wuning soldiers and organized them into a new battle sequence.

"Third Highness!" Tian Guofeng, who had just returned, stepped into the big tent with great interest and bowed to the other party.

Zhu Youzhen also stood up to greet his fierce general: "On this road, can you still fight happily?" He asked with a smile.

"It's so happy, it's so happy. It's that the enemy is not immune to fighting! Tian Guofeng said with a laugh. It is often a one-touch collapse, thinking that it is a tough battle, and in the end it becomes a sheep drive. ”

"Don't like it? In the future, there are hard bones for you to gnaw! Zhu Youzhen said with a smile.

"No, no, no, I love it so much!" Tian Guofeng's answer was a big surprise to Zhu Youzhen: "Third Highness, who doesn't want their enemies to be worse?" In the end, they are all as bad as Wu Ningjun, if the enemy is too strong, their brothers and sisters will die a lot, and it is of course the best if they don't die. ”

"That's right!" Zhu Youzhen always thought that Tian Guofeng's braincase was very simple, but every time, it was the words that burst out of this simple person's mouth, and he had nothing to say. "Where's Chen Fu?"

"It's still placing soldiers and horses!" Tian Guofeng said: "Then it will be there." ”

"Is the damage significant?"

"It's not big, the attrition is less than a hundred, and the most infuriating thing is that more than half of the people here were not injured in battle, but fell off their horses and were injured in the middle of the road." Tian Guofeng grinned: "Third Highness, it's nothing to fight, it's just that I'm too tired to travel this time." ”

"Next, have a good rest, we are going to leave again, take Xuzhou, I will let you sleep for three days and three nights." Zhu Youzhen beckoned and let Tian Guofeng come over,

"This is the sand table that General Cao just made. The enemy set up a military fortress in Kuishan and Dahuangshan. Zhu Youzhen said: "If you want to fight Xuzhou, you have to pull out these two military villages first." ”

Tian Guofeng blinked his eyes and said, "Will Pang Xun come out of the city to attack us?" ”

"I'm afraid he doesn't have the guts!" Zhu Youzhen laughed.

"We are on an expedition, and now we have a stable foothold, this old boy is waiting for work and recuperation, I think he will go out of the city to fight with us." Tian Guofeng insisted.

Cao Bin thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, there is indeed such a possibility. We are talking about nearly 50,000 people now, but 30,000 of them are co-opted pawns, which are not stable in themselves. And 20,000 soldiers and horses, the real elite, only 3,000 people from my headquarters, the 3,000 people you just brought, the 3,000 cavalry under Guofeng, including 1,500 cavalry from my headquarters, on the whole, we only have these 7,000 men and horses to fight tough battles. I think Pang Xun can also detect this information. ”

"Let's have a fight!" Zhu Youzhen sneered. "Pang Xun hasn't fought for many years, I'm afraid I don't know what an army that can really fight looks like, right?"
