Chapter 419: Laughing about victory and defeat
This Li Jinglong is the son of Zhu Di's cousin Li Wenzhong, and he should be his cousin according to his generation, but the two are of the same age, and they studied together in the palace when they were young, and they have a good relationship when they grow up.
"Your Highness is so sure,"
Dao Yan looked at him and smiled,
"So, is Your Highness still interested in hearing this second news?"
"Of course you have to listen,"
Zhu Di said angrily and funny,
"Master, if you don't say it, how can I know if I'm interested, let's talk about it quickly."
"What ...... this?"
Dao Yan looked a little hesitant,
"This news, the old man doesn't know if it's a good thing, Gu Those chamberlains said, the emperor has issued a 'forbidden edict', and said to all the soldiers of the Southern Army, no one is allowed to harm Your Highness, that is, you can only be captured alive, not killed."
"Oh, yes......"
Hearing the news, Zhu Di's face changed, and then he smiled a little unnaturally,
"Isn't that great? In this case, at least none of those southern troops dare to touch me, which is equivalent to Yun Wei using the edict to give this king an 'invulnerable' body. ”
"That's why I'm worried,"
Dao Yan shook his head lightly and said,
"Even if there is such an edict, it does not mean that Your Highness is really invulnerable, and every time you come to the battlefield, you are the first to take the lead, and the old man advises Your Highness to be properly careful, after all, there are no eyes on the battlefield, no matter how you say it, it is not so safe to rely on."
"Didn't the master say that I would definitely be able to become the emperor and have the destiny of the Son of Heaven?"
Zhu Di suddenly smiled wryly,
"How could the future Son of Heaven die on the battlefield? Don't worry, if this king doesn't personally lead the soldiers to fight, he will feel unsteady in his heart, and as for his safety, I will naturally pay attention to it. ”
"That's fine......"
Dao Yan also nodded helplessly.
In fact, it is not easy for the commander of the three armies to be able to "take the lead", not to mention that he is still a prince and vassal king in front of him, with his own nobility, but Dao Yan also knows, on the other hand, it is precisely because of this that Zhu Di will be more attractive, and he will gather those brave soldiers around him and follow him.
But Zhu Di was thinking of another thing at this time-
Yun Wei actually issued such an order, no one is allowed to kill his "uncle", but if you want to say "uncle", hasn't he already killed one, and a few others have been made worse than dead by him. Now it seems that in the final analysis, he still wants to establish his prestige as the emperor by defeating himself, but if that kid wants to base his prestige on the humiliation of his fourth uncle, who is a famous general, this is intolerable anyway......
It's just that since Yun Wei doesn't want to hurt his "fourth uncle", what kind of result does he want to get? Are you really going to take your nephew's throne?
At this time, Zhu Di felt a wave in his heart, which almost made him a little dazed, but he quickly calmed down, because he knew that another big war was waiting for him.
Sure enough, a few days later, the war report came, Li Jinglong was appointed as a general, and had already arrived in Dezhou, incorporated the remnants of Geng Bingwen, and mobilized a total of 500,000 people from all walks of life, and then stationed in Hejian. However, as I expected, after arriving at the river, there was no action for a long time. In this way, Zhu Di has more confidence in his heart.
When the military information came, the generals were recruited to the front of the main hall of the Yan Wangfu.
The 500,000 conscription troops sound more than the last time, and the scale is also larger, even the generals under Zhu Di who can conquer and fight cannot but be a little worried. However, when Zhu Di appeared in front of everyone with his son, he had a very happy look on his face.
"Everybody's coming,"
As if he was talking like a family child, Zhu Di sat down behind the handsome case,
"Have you heard about the change of generals between the DPRK and China?"
"I heard,"
Zhang Yu preemptively said,
"I heard that it was Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao Guo, and he also brought 500,000 people."
"Absolutely,"
Zhu Di slapped the table very excitedly and said,
"Now this king can send troops to relieve the siege of Yongping, because without Geng Bingwen's worries about staying in Zhending, then Li Jinglong has nothing to worry about."
"Your Highness, but he has 500,000 people......
Tan Yuan kindly reminded on the side.
Zhu Di said with a smile,
"These 500,000 people will definitely be defeated by Li Jinglong. The king had sent to inquire about the disposition of his troops, and he had lost five of them in the art of war, and he had taken them all. The army's unevenness, lack of provisions, disregard for danger and ease, and eagerness to win, coupled with his rigid and narrow personality, made it difficult for his troops to play a role with 500,000 empty and full of rabble. ”
"Your Highness, what should we do now?"
Hearing King Yan's words, the generals immediately became more confident, and the "bold" Zhu Neng immediately asked.
At this time, Zhu Di was not in a hurry to answer, but glanced at Gao Chi beside him, and then turned his head and said,
"This king is going to relieve the siege of Yongping County, and you are all ready to go with this king."
"Huh?"
When the generals heard this, they were all stunned,
"We're all gone, so what about Beiping?"
"The king has his own arrangement,"
After speaking, Zhu Di stood up and said,
"That's it, let's all go back to the camp and get ready."
"Yes."
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, with a belly full of doubts, and each went back to various places.
After the generals left, Zhu Di took Gao Chi back to the study, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Dao Yan and Gu Cheng, who had been living in the palace, drinking tea and chatting together, so he smiled,
"It's great that both of them are here."
"Your Highness, you're back."
After all, Gu Cheng has not been friends with Zhu Di for many years like Dao Yan, and he has always been a little restrained, and when he saw him walk in, he got up and said hello.
When Zhu Di saw it, he hurriedly helped him and said,
"The old man doesn't have to be polite, you can just treat Xiao Wang as a junior, please sit down."
After the three of them sat down again, Dao Yan asked,
"Has Your Highness made a decision? How should this battle be fought? ”
"I think about it, although the other side is not in the same army, after all, there are 500,000 people, so it is still a big threat to our army."
Zhu Di was very calm and authentic.
Gu Cheng, who was on the side, heard that the two were discussing the military situation, so he got up and said,
"It's better to avoid it."
"No, no,"
Zhu Di grabbed him and said,
"In my Yanwang Mansion, there is nothing that I can't tell you, Old General Gu can just sit here with peace of mind."
"This ......"
Gu Cheng's heart was very moved, because from the body of the fourth prince, he seemed to see the shadow of the first emperor, and after a little hesitation, he still sat down.
"Then, the old man will thank His Highness for his trust."
