Zhu Di glanced at the two of them and said,

"You two, don't you come over and see Old General Gu, he is the most respected senior of this king."

"The juniors have seen General Gu,"

Although they were confused by His Royal Highness, these two people still came over to greet Gu Cheng.

Zhu Di nodded and said,

"You two go and let people build a new big tent next to the king's sleeping tent, and then pack it up and give it to General Gu to live in."

"The last general obeys!"

Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng agreed to leave together.

Gu Cheng also recognized the two generals who had just gone out, the two most active generals of the Yan Army in this battle, and smiled,

"Your Highness's subordinates are really good."

"Let the old general smile,"

Zhu Di also smiled slightly,

"They are all brothers who have followed me from birth to death for many years, and they have also made great contributions in the crusade against the Northern Yuan,"

Speaking of this, he changed the conversation again,

"However, two loyal generals like this, pillars of the DPRK, Zhang Yu and Xie Gui actually wanted to kill them on false charges, which is also one of the reasons why I raised the army."

In fact, as a military attaché, Gu Cheng has also heard some people around him talk about the current emperor's cutting of the domain, unlike most of those civil officials, a large number of military generals really expressed sympathy for the situation of King Yan, and Zhu Di was able to resist and won the admiration of many people. But in any case, this is also a rebellion, Gu Cheng still can't approve it in his heart, so he asked,

"Yes, I am also wondering why His Royal Highness opposes the emperor."

"If I hadn't taken the Beiping Mansion into my hands without soldiers, I am afraid that I would have become a prisoner long ago, or I would have died because of the jealousy of some villains in the court, and my family would definitely be exiled to the wilderness and barbarian land to suffer at this time. Didn't the old general hear about the King of Zhou, the King of Qi, the King of Dai, and the King of Min? and the king of Xiang, my twelve brothers, were forced to die because the emperor listened to the slanderous rumors of the traitorous ministers in the court, and was forced to die for the whole family. Thinking about it, our brothers are all the uncles of today's son, and they are also the blood of the former emperor, and they ended up so that they couldn't even protect their lives, could there be more miserable things in the world......

Speaking of this, Zhu Di burst into tears and cried bitterly.

Gu Wei is a hot-blooded man, upright and loyal, seeing that His Royal Highness King Yan, who was majestic in front of the two armies, is now crying sadly in front of him, like a wronged child, his heart can't help but be hot, and persuade,

"In this case, His Royal Highness should write to the emperor to defend himself."

"That's what the old general said,"

Zhu Di took the handkerchief handed over by Zheng He and wiped his tears.

"Just when I captured Beiping Mansion, I once handed the emperor a fold, but there was no response like a stone sinking into the sea, and then I seized the title and cut the knighthood, and sent troops to suppress it, and the emperor didn't recognize me as an uncle. In fact, they are all my Ming soldiers, so why am I willing to fight against my own people? ”

"Oh......"

In fact, what Zhu Di said was really true, so Gu Cheng listened to it and began to waver in his heart.

And after discovering this, Zhu Di no longer mentioned the matter before the two armies, let alone persuaded the old man to surrender himself, just said,

"Old general, don't live here anymore, come with me to the Chinese military camp."

As he spoke, he got up and helped him stand up, and it happened that Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng also rushed back and replied,

"Your Highness, the old general's tent has been packed."

"Okay, then let's go."

helped Gu Cheng back to the Chinese military camp, and sure enough, next to his sleeping tent, he saw the newly built tent, and after placing the old man, he sent four more elderly soldiers to serve him, and then returned to his tent to rest.

The next day, all the generals gathered in the Chinese army tent, and when everyone sat down, Zhu Di first called the detective to inquire about it, and sure enough, Geng Bingwen still couldn't hold out, so he asked everyone to report the results of the previous day, only then did they know that even Ning Zhong, the commander of the right army of the Southern Army, was captured by Qiu Fu, and it turned out that Geng Bingwen was the only one left in Zhending City to lead the whole army.

"Your Highness, why don't you take advantage of the situation to take down Zhending!"

Qiu Fu was eager to try the authentic language.

Zhu Di looked at everyone and asked,

"What do you think?"

"Your Highness,"

Tan Yuan seemed to agree with Qiu Fu's opinion, and said,

"The last general also thinks that we should take Zhending in one go, otherwise there are still nearly 100,000 Southern soldiers in that city, and it will be a threat to us after all."

"It's good to be able to take it down in one go,"

Zhu Di looked at these generals under him and said,

"It's just that you also know that there are nearly 100,000 defenders in that city, and our army is only tens of thousands, and the siege of the city is not the same as the head-to-head confrontation between the two armies, which will increase the casualties of our soldiers."

When they heard this, everyone understood—

In Zhu Di's eyes, the lives of his soldiers are very precious, and he tries to avoid unnecessary casualties every time.

Shen Shen, Qiu Fu Dao,

"Then how do you know if you can't do it if you don't try? Let's go on the offensive and see. ”

"Hmm...... It's good,"

Zhu Di nodded,

"It's better to do this, three days, just three days, you go to attack the city in batches and try it, and if you find that there are many casualties, you must withdraw."

The discussion has been decided, the whole army is divided into three teams, and they go to attack the city in turn, Zhu Di is still in front of the battle to supervise the battle, within three days, only Qiu Fu's men and horses have once attacked the sub-city, but in the end they were forced to retreat.

After three days of attack, Zhu Di gathered again to sit in the military tent, looking at the generals in front of him, Zhu Di couldn't help but laugh,

"Guys, what are you doing here? Isn't it good to cheer up! ”

"Your Highness,"

It was Zhang Yu who spoke first,

"I thought that hundreds of thousands of troops were defeated by us, but at the last moment, we couldn't capture this small Zhending City, and it was really useless for me to wait."

"It's not that you're useless, it's that the Marquis of Changxing is too good at guarding the city,"

Zhu Di comforted and explained,

"Don't the generals know that Geng Bingwen's best thing is defense, and he is definitely an expert in defending cities? When the first emperor and Zhang Shicheng were at war, the Marquis of Changxing was ordered to hold Yongxing City, no matter what method the enemy used, it was impossible to capture the city. ”

"How long?"

Zhu Neng asked with great interest.

Zhu Di looked at everyone's curious expressions and said,

"He has been sticking to Yongxing for more than ten years."

Oh my God-

When the generals heard this, they almost fainted collectively, more than ten years?! Is this a joke?

Tan Yuan was a little crying and laughing at the time,

"So, what should we do?"

"Let's withdraw to Beiping,"

Zhu Di seemed to have made a plan in his heart, so he said without hurrying,

"After this battle, the men and horses in Zhending City will not take the initiative to attack, and our army has also achieved the goal of deterring those people in the DPRK, so it is better to withdraw in time to rest and recuperate, so as to prepare for the next larger-scale battle."
