Geng Bingwen's fall stunned everyone, especially Zhu Di and Gu Cheng reacted the most violently, the two rushed to Geng Bingwen's side like crazy, and didn't care about Geng Bingwen's side at all, if these guards didn't focus all their attention on Geng Bingwen, but lightly stabbed a few times, then the history of Jingjing would be rewritten. But the opportunity is often only for a moment, and Zhang Yu and the others immediately rushed up and killed them all.

Zhu Di held Geng Bingwen's body and shouted: "General, general, why are you so stupid?" This king won't kill you, anything is easy to discuss! He also desperately used his hands to cover the wound on Geng Bingwen's neck, the blood from the wound had already dyed Geng Bingwen's beard and the front of his shirt red, and Zhu Di's hands were covered with blood, but he didn't notice it, but shouted frantically. On the other side, Gu Cheng held Geng Bingwen's head and shouted: "Come on, save people, general, big brother, brother is sorry for you, brother is sorry for you, why can't you think about it so much?" Why can't you think so! ”

After Zhang Yu killed all the guards, he ran over to probe Geng Bingwen's snort, shook his head, and said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, it's useless, Geng Bingwen is dead." But Zhu Di didn't seem to hear it, and was still shouting: "General, general, I won't kill you......"

Zhang Yu looked at Zhu Di's appearance, and couldn't help but stomp his feet, Geng Bingwen was dead, it was too late to say or do anything now, what Zhu Di should do now was to raid and expand the results as much as possible. Thinking of this, Zhang Yu knelt on the ground and shouted: "Lord Wang, Geng Bingwen is dead, please make a decision early!" Zhu Neng and the others also knelt down one after another, and said in unison: "Lord Wang, please make a decision as soon as possible." ”

The pleas of the crowd woke Zhu Di up, he shook his head, and finally accepted the reality. Zhang Yu They can't understand Zhu Di's loss, if Geng Bingwen surrenders, then most of his appeasement has been successful, drinking the Yangtze River and conquering Jingshi is no longer out of reach, Zhu Di even felt the breath of the throne of the Jingshi Emperor just now, that breath is so intoxicating and yearning! But all this disappeared with Geng Bingwen's suicide, and he was willing to take risks and try his best to get only such a result, how could he not let Zhu Di be heartbroken and insane?

But at this moment, I heard a heart-rending voice sound from behind Zhu Di: "General, I'm sorry for you, I was deceived by Zhu Di, I was deceived by Zhu Di, Zhu Di, I'm going to kill you!" With the words, a figure stumbled over, trying to bypass the guard and crash into Zhu Di, but was quickly subdued by the guard and fell to the ground. Zhu Di turned his head, looked at it, and suddenly smiled strangely: "Hey, isn't this Li Yuma?" How did you end up in such a field? As he spoke, he kicked out, spitting blood from Li Jian's mouth.

Li Jian scolded while vomiting blood: "Zhu Di, you don't have to die well, how can I believe you!" Li Jian regretted it in his heart, if it wasn't for his insistence on commanding the guards, if the general used his own personal guards, then the current situation would definitely not be formed. If Geng Bingwen could kill under the mountain, under his prestige, Gu Cheng would not dare to rebel in front of everyone. Zhu Di's army arrived later, indicating that Zhu Di did not pin all his hopes on Gu Cheng, and was also wary of Gu Cheng's change of fortune, but his credulity ruined this last opportunity. Thinking of this, Li Jian was overwhelmed with grief and indignation, and cursed Zhu Di loudly.

Li Jian's scolding became more and more painful, and Zhu Di's face became more and more ugly, and at this moment, Li Jian's scolding suddenly stopped, and a sword tip emerged from his chest. Li Jian struggled, wanting to look back to see who the person behind was, but the person behind flew up and kicked it away, and in Li Jian's last gaze, he saw a sturdy young man kneeling in front of Zhu Di, who seemed to be the king of Gaoyang County: "Father, this person has insulted his father, and he has been killed by his son, please punish my father." ”

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaoxu, who was full of murderous energy, and paused for a moment before saying, "It's okay, Gao Xu, you did the right thing." At this time, Zhu Di completely recovered from his disappointment, he turned around, looked at Gu Cheng, and said, "Old General Gu, Geng Bingwen is dead, can you call open the gate of Zhending?" ”

Gu Cheng shook his head as if he had lost his soul: "Impossible, what happened to us here can be seen with a telescope on the head of the city, I originally planned to wait for the general to surrender, disguise it as capture the prince, and then the general personally call to open the city gate, so the big thing can be decided." ”

"The city was ordered to defend the city by Geng Xuan, the second son of the general, and now that the general is dead, Geng Zheng will never open the city gate, and the generals in the city will not open the door when they see the general commit suicide."

"Can't you go with He Fu?"

"He Fu, it can't be done!"

Zhu Di was about to speak, but Zhang Yu suddenly said, "What about He Fu?" Where did it go? ”

"Huh?" Everyone turned around and found that He Fu had disappeared from the mountain, and everyone was shocked and immediately scattered to look for him. Suddenly, Zhang Fu pointed to the east and said, "Lord Wang, there is a cavalry running under the mountain, is that He Fu?" ”

Gu Cheng took the binoculars, glanced at them, and then said dejectedly: "It's He Fu, I originally thought he would surrender." ”

"I thought you had convinced him!" Zhu Di said in surprise, but looking at Gu Cheng's surprised eyes, he suddenly understood, he looked back at Geng Bingwen who was lying in a pool of blood, rushed up, cut off the old general's head with a sword, and said sharply: "This old horseman, when he was dying, he also put this king together, came to show his head to the three armies, and persuaded the Zhending army to surrender." With that, Zhu Di walked down the hill with his sword, and everyone hurriedly followed.

After going down the mountain, Zhu Di deprived him of his military rights on the grounds that Gu had become an old minister of the first emperor and should not work too hard, stayed by his side to counsel military affairs, and subordinated his subordinates to the generals. Gu Cheng not only had no objection, but instead proposed that he was not in good health, hoping that he could cultivate. Zhu Di immediately agreed to send 5,000 cavalry to escort him to Beiping to help teach the prince.

Looking at Gu Cheng's back, Zhu Neng asked in a low voice: "Lord Wang, Gu Cheng is still useful, why did you send him back to Beiping?" ”

"He's useless, after Geng Bingwen committed suicide, you can also see his appearance, this king is afraid of doing something in front of the army, such as inciting his subordinates to betray this king, so he still sent him away."

"He has already betrayed Geng Bingwen, can he betray the prince again?"

"Gu Cheng is mentally abnormal now, and this king doesn't dare to take risks."

......

When Geng Bingwen committed suicide, Geng Xuan, who was looking at the city, was so grieved that he vomited blood and fainted. When the generals heard that Geng Bingwen had committed suicide, the crowd was excited, most of them advocated going out of the city to take revenge, and a small number of people advocated sticking to and waiting for help. But Gao Wei didn't dare to trust anyone, so in the name of Qincha, he ordered the four gates to be closed, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, and violators were immediately beheaded. The generals were indignant and had no choice but to take orders.

So after He Fu escaped, he couldn't enter Zhending City, so he had no choice but to pass the pontoon bridge and came to the camp on the south bank, but he was almost killed by Geng Bingwen's henchman Liu Sui.

After Zhu Di joined Gu Cheng's army, the number reached 80,000, and he quickly broke through the northeast camp and surrounded Zhending, but Zhending City did not open the city and surrender when he saw Geng Bingwen's head as he guessed, but instead hated the enemy and swore to defend the city to the death. Zhu Di attacked Zhending City first, but due to the lack of siege equipment, he suffered heavy casualties and was ineffective. Then Zhu Di ordered an attack on the camp on the south bank, but was frustrated at the pontoon bridge.

In the end, Qiu Fu suggested swimming across the Hutuo River from the upper reaches, attacking the camp on the south bank, and burning the baggage, so that the defenders would definitely collapse without a fight, Zhu Di heard the words and smiled bitterly: "Yunzhong, your suggestion is very good, but it is too risky, first of all, our army's military rations will not be able to support it for a few days, and we must return the day after tomorrow; Secondly, if the army crosses the river and attacks the enemy camp and fails, it will be impossible to return to the north bank, and it will be the end of the total annihilation. ”

According to the intelligence, the baggage on the south bank is just south of the camp, and the general will smuggle in from the upper reaches and then surprise attack the camp, as long as the camp is on fire, the enemy army will inevitably be in chaos. If the prince saw the fire of the big camp, he ordered the whole army to cross the river, attack back and forth, defeat the big camp on the south bank in one fell swoop, and then turn back to attack Zhending City, which would be a victory. ”

"That," Zhu Di was a little moved: "Yunzhong, how many people do you need to raid?" ”

"Five thousand people will do!"

Zhu Di was stunned, with 5,000 people to sneak attack the camp of 100,000 troops, Qiu Fu's courage is really beyond ordinary people!

However, Zhang Yu hurriedly said: "This matter must not be done, once General Qiu is discovered by the enemy, the enemy will plan and lead our army across the river, I am afraid that our army will be completely annihilated in the Hutuo River." And now that the rear of our army is not stable, once defeated, it is likely that some people will fall back to the imperial court, then the general trend will go! ”

"But if you don't make a surprise move, how can you turn the tide of the battle?" Qiu Fu retorted.

Zhu Di couldn't make up his mind, and pondered and weighed it, Zhang Yu, Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng all stared at him, and finally Zhu Di said: "General Qiu, this king promises you." ”

"Lord, no!" Zhang Yu said urgently.

Zhu Di waved his hand and said: "Yunzhong, but if you fall into a siege, this king will not send someone to save you, do you understand?" ”

"Of course, if you fall into a siege, the last general will definitely repay the prince with death!"

Listening to Qiu Fu's words, Zhu Di frowned, feeling unlucky, and couldn't help but regret agreeing to Qiu Fu's suggestion, but as soon as the words came out, it was difficult to change, so he had to order Zhang Yu to lead people to respond, and also told Qiu Fu not to rush to the front and beware of the enemy's ambush.

That night, Qiu Fu led 5,000 cavalry to detour upstream for ten miles before crossing the Hutuo River from a place where the water flow was relatively gentle.

Sure enough, Zhang Yu's worry was right, a rocket crossed the night sky and landed on the opposite bank, and then the cavalry copied from the east, west and south, and in less than half an hour they fought with the two thousand cavalry who had crossed the river, especially one of the black-armored cavalry, unstoppable, invincible, although Qiu Fu and others fought hard, but they were outnumbered, and soon in front of Zhang Yu's eyes, Qiu Fu's cavalry was driven into the river, either drowned, or died under the rain of arrows......

Zhang Yu watched, but there was nothing he could do, he could only hold the telescope tightly, staring at the black-armored general who split Qiu Fu in half with a knife, and in the cheers of the army, the general raised his face armor and looked at the north bank defiantly. Zhang Yu's hand holding the telescope was trembling, he stared at that face deadly, and said hatefully: "Qu Neng, you wait!" ”
