After dark, the rain almost stopped, and the wind was still blowing; The remaining sparse raindrops carried by the wind were clearer in the light of the night fire, flickering with white shadows.

Zhu Gaoxu can really feel at night that there are countless people here. In ancient villages, it was generally pitch black at night, and only faintly visible lights like ghost fires could be seen; But this time it was different, there was fire everywhere, and the soldiers not only lit lamps, but also lit bonfires, and the fires could be seen everywhere under the night sky, illuminating the sky on all sides.

Tonight, Zhu Gaoxu's mood was very impetuous, and he was tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep. And Miaojin was already asleep, and just now Zhu Gaoxu tried to push through the door, and the inside was latched.

It is said that when a woman is close to others, she must have the right atmosphere and emotions. But Zhu Gaoxu personally felt that men don't need any mood, even if he is restless and nervous about the war now, he still wants to repair the car. He remembered that he had lost all his previous and had a feeling of despair and wanting to die, but it still didn't affect that mind.

Maybe it's because of the letter I received today.

The letters written by the wives and concubines in the Han Palace's palace were sent in an envelope. However, everyone wrote a page, and when Zhu Gaoxu saw those beautiful and timeless handwriting, he could subconsciously think of their writing hands.

Every time he looked at a person's handwriting, he could think of the slender shape and gentle posture of her hand, and the delicate skin, and even recall its touch and smell. Zhu Gaoxu thought that it touched some part of his body, and then the blush and shyness of that face appeared in his mind.

"Crunch!" Zhu Gaoxu turned over on the small wooden bed in the private house. After a while, he even thought of Shen Xu, who didn't receive a word. Shen Xu's various touches and lingering demeanors all appeared in his mind.

Zhu Gaoxu wanted to end the war as soon as possible and go back to meet them......

He took a deep breath to himself, and finally let himself gradually regain his cool senses.

Zhu Gaoxu had to remind himself that this battle was a real decisive battle! We must not be in a hurry, but must be patient and reap the fruits of victory regardless of trouble and by any means.

Thinking about the "Battle of Jingjing" back then, Emperor Jianwen was justified and popular with the people, and he had the soldiers of the world; The Yanwang Mansion only had the territory of Beiping and its vicinity, but after the Jingnan army won two key battles, it was able to go all the way south to collect and surrender the rebellion.

As long as Zhu Gaoxu can break the main force of the official army this time, the situation will definitely be reversed! The Ming Dynasty is at your fingertips, and Gao Chi may be difficult to reverse the defeat.

On the contrary, Zhu Gaoxu felt that he definitely had no chance to regain his strength! He is not Li Zicheng, he can be defeated repeatedly and develop rapidly; At this time, the general trend of the world, the people's minds are at peace, the people everywhere can keep food and clothing, and there are not so many displaced people as soldiers, and the vast majority of people do not want to fight a civil war. Therefore, once Zhu Gaoxu lost the main army in his hand, it would be difficult to reorganize the army.

He stood still here, hoping that Zhang Fu would come to the decisive battle. But his head grew on Zhang Fu's neck, and Zhu Gaoxu was just playing, and he couldn't make decisions for Zhang Fu, and he didn't dare to be sure.

In case of stability, retreat to the east of the Xiangjiang River; Zhu Gaoxu could only calm down, and first stand in Xiangxi and then find a way.

But no matter what, the defeat of the main force must not happen!

…… The next day the weather cleared. The sky that had rained was extra clear, blue as a jewel; The air is still a little humid, but the crisp autumn weather has returned to the earth.

Zhu Gaoxu ordered peace and sent a large number of rangers to the Zishui Valley to investigate the movements of the official army. At the same time, he ordered Hou Hai and Beisi Zhang Sheng and others to arrange spy spies, disguise themselves as ordinary people, and keep an eye on the officials and soldiers.

Zhang Fu must have sent a lot of people over. In the rainy weather two days ago, the scouts of the various armies also caught a few enemy spies.

On October 17, Zhang Shengyu of the Northern Division reported that the spies in front of him found that the official army was building a boat bridge on the water in the southwest of Baoqing Mansion City!

In the afternoon of the same day, Ping An walked into the Chinese army and informed Zhu Gaoxu. Multiple scouts, and at the same time found that there were boats and bridges on the water, as well as men and horses of the officers and soldiers.

Proving the truth of a thing through information from different sources is the most effective means of determining the military situation in this era. Zhu Gaoxu immediately said to the civil and military forces in the room: "Zhang Fu has finally decided to fight!" ”

Sheng Yong hugged his fists and said: "The prince is clever, and the end will admire it!" ”

The crowd chimed in.

Zhu Gaoxu said with a straight face: "Zhang Fu went south to find me for a decisive battle, but it just made things much simpler. But the final victory or defeat is still to be decided by real fighting. You should boost the morale of the soldiers and prepare for the war with all your might! ”

"The last general will obey!"

Wang Bin's round face was already red, and he looked very excited, and he hugged his fists and bowed: "The last general, please be the striker!" The others were also talking, and the room was lively.

Strange to say, from generals to soldiers, they have all fought, and it is clear that fighting is not an easy thing; However, if the coach avoids the big war, it will often affect morale, and if there is a war, it will make everyone feel high!

It seems that everyone has a sense of luck, and it is no different from the gamblers Zhu Gaoxu has seen, and they all feel that they will definitely win. Before the war, everyone thought about how to pay homage to the prime minister or receive the reward after winning, and they would never forget the tragic situation of losing. Not only are the soldiers of the Han Dynasty like this, but it is estimated that Zhang Fu's people are similar.

Zhu Gaoxu calmed down and looked down at the map on the table. The map is rudimentary, but the main cities, roads, mountains, and rivers are depicted.

The official army crossed the Zishui in the southwest of Baoqing Mansion, and if they wanted to march to the Han army, they had to cross the Fuyi River. However, in this way, the officers and soldiers did not have to cross the Shao River; And Fuyi water is narrower than Shao water.

Zhu Gaoxu estimated that Zhang Fu's troops could exceed 400,000! And the Han Wangjun can only set up a decisive battle in the near future, only 300,000 people. Newly captured prisoners cannot be put on the battlefield, and it is useless to fight the number of people alone.

No one can predict the outcome of this battle!

However, Zhang Fujun has already completed the gathering, and the soldiers and horses are not far away; Now to deal with the main force of the official army, the most effective way is to fight. Otherwise, no matter which force is captured, the reinforcements from both sides will still evolve into a battle.

Zhu Gaoxu raised his head, and when he saw that the generals and civil officials in the room were all cronies around him, he couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "We are the king or the king, it depends on this battle." ”

The discussion of everyone was a little quieter, and the generals' expressions were different, but their expressions gradually became serious.

Wang Bin said: "I follow the prince in life and death, and be a companion all the way!" ”

Sheng Yong also then said: "The last general and others are already criminal ministers, and they will do their best to win the world for the prince!" ”
