"Gao Xu fought in Xuzhou, and even your uncle praised you." King Yan looked at Zhu Gaoxu.

Xu Huizu praised him, how did King Yan know? Zhu Gaoxu immediately thought of the traitor, and the news came really fast...... The father is not only good at fighting on the battlefield, but also plays a great role in arranging treacherous spies, and often knows the deployment of the officers and troops in advance.

Before he could speak, King Yan paused for a moment, and then said: "Gao Xu makes good use of cavalry, your soldiers are too few, Zhang Wu!" ”

Zhang Wu came out and said: "The last general." ”

King Yan said: "You and the headquarters of the twelve chong jing, after which you follow Gao Xu and are under his command." ”

Zhang Wu hugged his fists and said: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

Zhang Wu is no longer the general manager of the guard, because Zhu Gaoxu tried his best to make meritorious contributions to him, and later made several meritorious contributions, at this time he has been promoted to the governor of Tongzhi; There are nearly 5,000 cavalry in the hands of the most elite cavalry of the Northern Army!

Moreover, Zhang Wu and Zhu Gaoxu had a good personal relationship, and King Yan suddenly greatly strengthened Zhu Gaoxu's strength...... Zhu Gaoxu had to guess that the situation might be serious!

Zhu Gaoxu didn't care much about King Yan's way of doing things to him when he needed him, after all, he himself also wanted to help King Yan win this war as soon as possible.

Regarding the "Battle of Jingjing", Zhu Gaoxu was most worried that something would go wrong, which would lead to everyone's end together! I was also worried that Miaojin would grow branches in the wine cellar, and I was worried about Yao Ji of Jingshi...... In short, he really wanted to get through this period quickly and experience the taste of a prince first.

Zhu Gaoxu hugged his fists and said: "Erchen only wants his father to win as soon as possible, and he tries his best to share his father's worries all the time!" ”

Yan Dynasty nodded, and then he said, "I just got some news, and the situation is becoming more and more urgent. If our army wants to drive straight down the Huai River, I'm afraid it won't be able to, so we have to fight a big battle first! ”

He turned his head to look at Jin Zhong. Jin Zhong bowed his hand, and then faced the generals and said: "Sheng Yong was exhausted after the Battle of Jiahe, and he is gathering villagers to deploy the defense of the Huai River. At this time, the northern Ping'an army had left Jining and crossed the Yellow River; To the south, Xu Huizu and He Fu crossed the Huai River......"

"We have received definite news that some people in the DPRK and China have already guessed the strategy of our division to 'fight at the river and rush to Beijing', so the official army has not sent reinforcements to Xuzhou." Jin Zhong raised his hands and put them together in the middle, "And I want to hit my division in Suishui!" ”

Jin Zhong said again: "The prince's strategy is to deal with it by 'concentrating forces and breaking them individually'. Our division first set up an ambush on the Huaihe River and defeated Ping'an; Then go east to Suishui, meet Xu Huizu and He Fubu, in order to break the encirclement and interception of our division by the official army, and then cross the Huai River! ”

King Yan said: "Can you understand?" ”

The generals clasped their fists and said: "The last general understands it!" "The prince is wise!"

…… King Shiyan had already raised a large amount of military rations, so the northern army withdrew from Xuzhou and moved south.

This time, Qiu Fu was the vanguard, pretending to search and march to Suishui; Zhu Gaoxu led more than 10,000 people to follow Qiu Fu, and the camera responded. Along the way, two groups of people bluffed, one side of the road was clamoring, and the other side was shaking cannons.

And King Yan had already led the main force to advance in the direction of the river, intending to ambush on the road of the Ping'an army.

Zhu Gaoxu kept his distance from Qiu Fu and followed Qiu Fubu very slowly, just waiting for news from King Yan's side. It's almost September, and although it's not as cold as Beiping, it's wetter. When he woke up in the morning, Zhu Gaoxu already felt that the armor was cold, and there were a little dewdrops gathered on it.

Ten days later, the horsemen came from the west. After checking the seal letter outside the barracks, he entered Zhu Gaoyang's Chinese army.

The messenger got down on one knee and handed over a letter.

Zhu Gaoxu took it apart and looked at it, and reviewed Zhang Wu, Wang Bin and others, "Ping An detected that my father Wang was ambushing his troops and engaged my division in battle, and the outcome was undecided. Ping An has withdrawn to the city of Suzhou; My father besieged Suzhou, and it was difficult to take it, so he only plundered the soldiers and horses that escorted grain and grass in Xuzhou City. ”

Zhang Wudao: "Before Ping An arrived in Suzhou, Xuzhou sent grain. It seems that Ping An is short of food, and he can't stay in Suzhou for a long time. ”

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said, "Even so, if my division wants to besiege the city and wait for peace and starvation, it will be too late." The father may withdraw from the siege and change direction to attack Xu Huizu and He Fubu first. ”

…… This matter was said by Zhu Gaoxu again! In mid-September, King Yan had no way to take peace, so he ordered Qiu Fu to rush to Suishui to find a suitable place to build a pontoon bridge, and the army went south!

When Zhang Wu heard the news, he couldn't help but compliment Zhu Gaoxu a few words.

Zhu Gaoxu thought that more than two years ago, Zhang Wu's criticism of his use of soldiers was also quite emotional. During this period of time, he also felt that he had undergone some changes, and he had personally experienced countless battles and battles, and he had indeed learned a lot from patchwork.

Before each major war, King Yan considered and arranged the situation; and the practice of the cavalry led by the king of Yan often avoiding the front and looking for weaknesses in a roundabout way...... Zhu Gaoxu saw all the details of the big things, and most of the war was learned from King Yan. He also learned some of the tricks of other generals, although it was very complicated, but he had a lot of experience and figured out some things that he understood.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu had not yet received a new military order from King Yan, perhaps King Yan was busy leading his army to advance in the direction of Suishui.

He got the military report from Qiu Fu, and Qiu Fu had already chosen a place to build a bridge...... There is an old river channel on the other side of Suishui, called Xiaohe, the river is not wide, just enough to build a bridge as soon as possible.

Zhu Gaoxu first sent scouts to explore the place of Qiu Fujian's bridge. A few days later, the ministry general was convened to discuss the meeting.

Now that the strength of Zhu Gaoxu's department has increased greatly, he no longer calls officers from more than 100 households to be present, but orders the generals above the deputy general to discuss the matter, and the big tent is also crowded with dozens of people.

Zhu Gaoxu learned from King Yan's appearance, and first asked the well-spoken Wei Da to report the military situation of King Yan and Qiu Fu, so as to save the waste of tongue.

After Wei Da finished speaking, Zhu Gaoxu said: "My father did not give us a new military order, and the military order we got before was to respond to Qiu Fubu. Now that Qiu Fu is building a bridge at Xiaohe, our department should be close to Qiu Fu and reach a distance where Qiu Fu can be reinforced. ”

He took out a scribbled map he had just drawn, held it up and pointed at it, and said, "Qiu Fu is here in Xiaohe, and the circle behind the flank is a large woodland, about two miles away from Xiaohe, which the scouts have just discovered. Let's go and squat in the woods and see what the opportunity is...... Look at the direction, up the north and down the south! ”

Everyone stretched their necks to take a look, and they all hugged their fists and said, "The last general will obey the order!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and said, "Pull out the camp and set off!" ”

After the various departments packed up their things, they set out one after another in order, and headed south along a large road. Zhu Gaoxu left Beiping in early June, and he had been running with the army for nearly four months, and he had not fought any major battles along the way. The battle in Xuzhou City was praised by many people, but the actual scale was not large.

Most of the time he was either camping or marching, and now he was following the large group of men as usual...... But at this moment, Zhu Gaoxu has vaguely felt that maybe the big war will not be too far away.
