Zhu Di said coldly: "If you don't want to submit, please stand up, don't hide in the crowd like a turtle with a shrunken head." ”

Pan Zhong and Yang Song looked at each other and smiled, walked out of the crowd hand in hand, and walked to the front of the queue.

Zhu Di patted his horse over, only to see a flash of cold light, two human heads flying, blood pouring out. The ranks of the Confederate army were in an uproar.

Zhu Di pointed at the captives of the Southern Army with the tip of his blood-dripping knife, and shouted: "Who else doesn't want to submit? ”

A few more Southern Army Qianhu came out, and Zhu Di urged him to step forward and cut off their heads with a knife.

When he asked for the third time, finally no one dared to walk out of the team anymore, and the big guys fell to their knees in unison, and the mountain shouted: "His Royal Highness King Yan is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old." We are willing to submit. ”

Zhu Di nodded, wiped the blood stains with the steel knife at the bottom of his boots, put the knife into the sheath, and said to the prisoners: "Whoever sincerely belongs to him, let him go and stay, and pay for the journey. ”

All the captives bowed their heads one after another and said, "Ander has said this, and we sincerely want to repay our kindness by death." ”

At this time, a captive walked out of the crowd, knelt down in front of Zhu Di's horse, kowtowed, and said: "The villain is Taizhou Wei Baihu Zhangwu, the family has an old mother who needs support, I hope to return, and after a hundred years of the old mother, I will come to serve again, please ask Your Highness for permission." ”

Zhu Di shouted: "Raise your head." The man looked up, Zhu Di saw that this person was thirty as promised, with big shoulders and round waist, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a face like charcoal fire. Since your family is supported by your mother, you will return to your own home. If you and I are destined, there will be a day of reunion. ”

Zhu Di ordered the person to take the usual treasure banknote and hand it over to Zhang Wu, saying: "The strong man takes care all the way." ”

Zhang Wu knelt down and kowtowed again, and said with tears in his eyes: "Thank you King Yan for your success, the villain will be rewarded in the future." ”

With that, he stood up, turned his head to board the Yueyang Bridge, walked quickly to the other side of the river, and gradually disappeared.

At this time, when the captives saw Zhang Wu leave safely, thousands of people poured out at once, and they asked to return home, and Zhu Di ordered Li Youzhi, the accompanying political envoy of Beiping, to send someone to register and make a book, give him travel expenses, and let him leave, and he led Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng and other military generals to lead the army to Renqiu.

The southern army of Xiongxian and Renqiu is the vanguard sent by Geng Bingwen, and their total number is more than 30,000 people, of which there are 9,000 people in Xiongxian County and 20,000 people in Renqiu, of which the main force is Pan Zhong and Yang Song led by Taizhou and Shaoxing two guard sergeants, now the two guards are all annihilated, Pan Zhong and Yang Song will be killed, the news reaches Renqiu, and the defenders in the city will collapse without a fight. The Yan army occupied Renqiu without blood.

After entering the city, Zhu Di convened the generals in the hall of Renqiu County to discuss the action.

Zhu Neng pointed to the map and said hatefully: "This time he ran away and violently Zhao, he must report to Geng Hou, the southern army must be on guard, our army will not succeed in a surprise attack, and stability should be the top." Our army should occupy Wuji County first, guard the north bank of the Zihe River, monitor the movements of the southern army, and then set a stop. ”

Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "The enemy is outnumbered, so take the initiative to attack." Taking advantage of his two consecutive defeats, the people's hearts are unstable, and our army should attack Zhending directly and catch him off guard. ”

Zhu Di nodded and said, "What Shimei (Zhang Yuzi) said is exactly what I want." ”

The generals were puzzled when they heard this, and Zhu Neng asked: "When Geng Hou hears the return of the violent Zhao, he must be ready for battle, how can I catch him off guard?" ”

Zhu Di pointed to the map and explained to the generals: "Everyone, please see, according to the report of Tanma, Geng Bingwen stationed 100,000 troops on both sides of the Hutuo River, known as 300,000, and camped between the rivers and divided into two camps, north and south. This formation is called the Turtle and Snake Formation, attacking the north camp will be the south camp to help, and attacking the south camp will be rescued by the north camp. Geng Bingwen heard that our army had destroyed 30,000 of its vanguard overnight, and he would be afraid, and he would unite the northern and southern battalions into one and fight the enemy with all his might. Our army took advantage of the chaotic movement of its two armies to enter in one fell swoop, and it was sure to win a great victory. This is a plan to do it before the truth. ”

When the generals heard this, they nodded their heads and praised them.

Zhu Di immediately dispatched soldiers and horses to say: "The generals listened to the order, Zhu Neng led 10,000 soldiers and horses for the West Route Army, from Dingzhou, Xinle to the front line of Zhending, attack its west gate, I will be 10,000 elite, for the middle route army, cross the river from Wuji, attack its north gate, Zhang Yu led 10,000 horses from Gaocheng to cross the Hutuo River, from the back to attack its south gate. Tyrant Zhao is a man of letters, and he runs seventy or eighty miles a day, which is already the limit, and according to this way, I estimate that he will arrive in Zhending before August 25. I have sent men to follow him closely, and any movement will be heard. You and the others must arrive at Zhending on the 25th of August, and launch an attack at the right time, and there must be no mistake, and those who violate the order will be beheaded. ”

The generals replied, "Yes." Then he walked down the hall and divided into parts to go.

At this time, Li Youzhi rushed up to the lobby and bowed to Zhu Di: "His Royal Highness King Yan, there is something important to return to your humble position." ”

Zhu Di sighed and said, "What is the emergency military situation?" "Chasing the text

Li You hurriedly said: "Your Highness, the humble position has now been ascertained, the Zhang Wu you let go is not a hundred households of Taizhou Wei at all, he is actually the commander of Ningbo Wei and the same knowledge Chen Xuan, his parents died early, and there is no one to support, he attacked his father's position to sit in this position, we were deceived by him." ”

Zhu Gaoxu, who was standing behind Zhu Di, shouted when he heard this: "Straight mother thief, dare to deceive my father, where is the other person, I will immediately arrest him and break his body into pieces." ”

Zhu Di waved his hand and said, "No need." At the moment of the great enemy, how can I be distracted by a little Chen Xuan, I treat people with sincerity, and it is difficult to serve the heavens, just to uphold the righteousness, and never hope to reciprocate. If he can meet this person again one day, he will reason with him again. ”

Li Youzhi exclaimed: "His Royal Highness King Yan is really the lord of magnanimity. ”

-------------------------

After escaping from the Yueyang Bridge, Tyrant Zhao rushed south non-stop. When passing by Renqiu, he did not dare to enter the city, but only took a short rest at the post station outside the city, and continued to flee south. The official road is full of soldiers fleeing, all speaking with southern accents, some are Wu Nong's soft language, and some are squirming, but generally speaking, the northern soldiers are terrible, killing people without blinking, like the devil.

Storm Zhao was secretly worried, it seemed that this time the Yan attack was more auspicious, he wanted to see Geng Bingwen as soon as possible, and tell him what he saw with his own eyes, this Yan King is indeed a terrible opponent. So he was in a hurry, and hurried to Zhending. But after all, he was a man of letters, not accustomed to riding, and ran seventy or eighty miles on a horse every day, and even wore the flesh on both sides of his thighs, and was drenched in blood, he endured the pain, and finally arrived at the north gate of Zhending at dawn on August 25.

He slowly came to the city and shouted to the city head through the moat: "I am Pingyan Bu's political envoy Zhao Zhao, open the city gate quickly, I have an urgent military situation to report to the Marquis Geng." ”

The soldiers in the city saw that there was a horse standing under the city, and the people on the horse were in tattered clothes, and their hair was scattered, and they couldn't see their faces clearly, and then they saw the soldiers in the distance following him, all of them hung their heads, lost their armor, and seemed to be a rout who had fled from the front line, and they were afraid that there would be fraud in it, so they hurriedly flew down to the city and reported to the Marquis Geng.

Geng Bingwen was taken aback when he heard the report, and said in his heart: "The Tyrannical Book has been gone for more than a month to pass the decree to Kaiping Wei, how can I return to Zhending Mansion today." Hurriedly led his soldiers to climb the north gate tower and look down.

At this moment, the sky was slightly bright, Geng Bingwen saw that the appearance of the people under the city was somewhat similar to that of Tyrant Zhao, but he was followed by hundreds of stragglers, and there were people coming in an endless stream behind him, and there was a tendency to gather more and more, Geng Bingwen was a little hesitant, not wanting to open the city gate and let him in, in case there were Yan soldiers mixed in it, it would be unimaginable. However, if he was allowed to die outside the city, not only would the imperial court punish him, but it would also be a great blow to his morale.

So Geng Bingwen poked his head out and shouted down: "Is the city a tyrannical book?" ”

Storm Zhao looked up, and finally saw the long-lost old man, tears gushed out uncontrollably, and replied in a trembling voice: "It's here, Geng Hou quickly open the city gate, I have something important to tell." ”

Geng Bingwen heard clearly that this person's voice was Tyrant Zhao, so he said: "Tyrannical Shangshu wait for a while, Benhou will come to greet Shangshu in person." ”

He ordered the defenders of the city to lower the drawbridge, open the city gates, and defend the urn city, and then personally led the guards down to the city to meet the tyrant.

Geng Bingwen rushed across the suspension bridge first, ran to Storm Zhao's side, pulled the reins, and carefully looked Storm Zhao up and down, left and right for a long time, and saw that Storm Zhao's hair was scorched and covered with blood, and he said strangely: "Storm Shangshu, didn't you go to Kaiping Wei to pass the decree, how did you get like this?" ”

Storm Zhao sighed and said, "It's hard to say." Saying that he and Geng Bingwen entered the city together, he briefly talked about his bizarre experience and what he saw and heard on the way.

After Geng Bingwen heard this, he praised him: "King Yan is worthy of being the chief of all kings, and he has won the true inheritance of Taizu. ”

Storm Zhao hurriedly said: "Marquis Geng, as the commander of the Northern Expedition, you should think about how to break the enemy, not to praise the opponent. ”

Geng Bingwen stretched out his hand and stroked his snow-white beard and said: "Tyranny Shangshu, you also know that I, Geng, am good at defending and not attacking, if King Yan comes to attack Zhending, I have a way to defeat him." If I were ordered to go north to Beiping, I really wouldn't have an idea. ”

Violent Zhao Zhengse said: "Marquis Geng, you are the only remaining founding general of this dynasty, the court leans on as a pillar, if you don't have the confidence to win, the country is in danger." ”

Geng Bingwen also sighed and said, "This is also the will of heaven." Emperor Taizu Gao killed so much that there was no one in the court, and the old man was sixty-six years old this year, and he still had to go into battle. If Fu Youde and Lan Yu were still there, King Yan would not dare to rebel. ”

Storm Zhao said: "For today's plan, it is useless to talk more, how can Geng Hou transfer troops to defend Zhending and defeat the Yan army." ”

Geng Bingwen said: "Since the Yan army is very sharp, I should join forces in one place to resist the enemy." After that, he said to the soldiers around him: "Pass my general order, order Li Jian, the former military governor, to move the southern camp to the north bank, and order Gu Cheng, the governor of the right army, to lead the northern camp to be transferred to the north gate to garrison." ”

The soldiers obeyed the order, and then they rode towards the west gate. More than 80,000 men and horses of the north and south battalions were stationed outside the west gate.

At this moment, the two of them have come to the gate of the urn city, and suddenly heard a few loud noises behind them, and the two looked back, only to see that the suspension bridge chain was cut at some point, and fell from the city.
