First of all, the one who was filial piety was Zhang Yu's eldest son Zhang Fu, and when he saw King Yan coming to him, he immediately saluted,

"The last general will see His Highness!"

"Well, this, Zhang Fu,"

Zhu Di looked at him with love and concern in his eyes,

"What does the lonely king mean, why don't you go on this expedition, and wait until you have the opportunity to go with this king in the future?"

"Your Highness!"

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Fu suddenly became anxious,

Do you think that the last general is not qualified to follow you, or is it because of the things of your father? If it is the former, then it just shows that the last general needs to be tempered in many ways, if it is because of the latter, then it is even more unnecessary, because the last general is not greedy for life and afraid of death, and if the father in the spirit of heaven sees that I am not guarding His Highness, he will definitely not forgive the last general! ”

"Zhang Fu,"

Zhu Di sighed and said,

"The lonely king just thinks that at this time, it is better for you to spend more time with your mother."

"My mother is accompanied by my sister and two brothers, and the last general just needs to follow His Highness!"

Zhang Fu's eyes are very firm, quite like his father Zhang Yu.

Zhu Di nodded, and replied to Zhu Nengdao,

"How about letting him follow your subordinates and be a lieutenant?"

"Naturally, it's good."

Zhu Neng smiled and beckoned to Zhang Fu, who immediately happily urged the horse to follow him.

Zhu Di looked at the other two again and said with a smile,

"What are you two boys doing?"

"Of course I'm going to war with my father!"

The generals recognized it at a glance, it was Zhu Di's second son Zhu Gaoxu and third son Zhu Gaosui, and it was Gao Sui who answered.

Seeing that everyone had a look of wanting to laugh on their faces, Zhu Di nodded and said,

"Okay, other people's children can go to the battlefield, there is no reason why my Zhu Di's son can't, you two, let's follow Qiu Fu."

"Thank you, Dad!"

Zhu Gaosui, who was able to go out with his father for the first time, replied excitedly.

In this way, the whole army once again set up troops to the south, and first stationed in Baoding and set up a large camp......

Soon, I got the news that Sheng Yong's 200,000 troops were still stationed in Dezhou, while Ping An and Wu Jie were stationed in Zhending.

Who should be hit first? At a time when the generals gathered in the tent of the Chinese army, this issue undoubtedly became the focus of discussion, and there were not a few generals who advocated fighting the real decision first. At this moment, Zhu Di, who had been standing in front of the terrain map and watching and listening, finally made the opposite decision.

"Everyone, that Ping'an and Wu Jie are actually not worried,"

Zhu Di turned around from the topography map and looked at everyone,

"Their advance and retreat completely depend on Sheng Yong, if Sheng Yong is repulsed, then the two of them will not do anything again, so King Gu feels that it is better to solve Sheng Yong first."

"But after all, our army is now closer to Zhending, if we cross them and go to Texas to fight Sheng Yong, what if Ping An and Wu Jie lead their troops to sneak attack from behind us?"

Qiu Fu asked worriedly.

Zhu Di glanced at everyone and said,

"You can rest assured, Ping An and Wu Jie were defeated last time they sent troops, and they don't dare to attack rashly, as long as we are fast enough, those two people can ignore it. In addition, I have already ordered the Mongolian battalion rangers to be suspicious soldiers near Zhending, and Zheng Heng, who is stationed in Shenzhou, has been keeping an eye on their movements, so there is no need to worry. ”

"Oh......"

When the generals heard this, they were silent.

In fact, Zhu Di knew very well what everyone was worried about, after all, the Yan army was insufficient, which was its biggest weakness. If Sheng Yong defended Dezhou and defended this city with 200,000 troops, it should not be a problem, but if the Yan army could not attack it for a long time, and it would not be like the last battle of Jinan, it would not be effective for three months, and the Zhending army would attack and disturb again, wouldn't it be trapped in the belly and back of the enemy again?

However, on the other hand, Zhu Di knew better that Sheng Yong would never stay in Dezhou City and not come out, on the grounds that he was not allowed to do so, whether from the perspective of the court or from his own point of view.

Zhu Yunwen sued the Taimiao and the world with this victory, which would make the people of the Manchu Dynasty mistakenly think that the opportunity to defeat the Yan army and even capture the Yan King was just around the corner, if Sheng Yong did not move at this time, retreated in Dezhou City and refused to take the initiative to attack, then the people guarding Huang Zicheng and their people would definitely not allow it, and they would definitely urge him to send troops. As for Sheng Yong himself, he was originally promoted from the middle and lower-level generals to a general, and he had no ability or capital to disobey the will of the court and go his own way, not to mention that he urgently needed to make greater contributions to consolidate his position.

So judging from all these aspects, Zhu Di dared to conclude that Sheng Yong would definitely leave Texas and take the initiative to fight against him.

However, it turns out that King Yan's speculation is right again-

Just when the Yan army was advancing southward at a speed like a stroll, Sheng Yong of Dezhou really led the whole army to meet him and stationed in the area of Jiahe.

After learning the news, Zhu Di immediately ordered the whole army to rush there, set up a large camp more than 40 miles away from the Jiahe River, and then gather the generals in the big tent of the Chinese army. The generals had learned that Sheng Yong had left Texas, where they were stationed, and they all admired King Yan's accurate judgment, and only waited for him to give an order, and then they would fight this fierce enemy again.

However, after seeing everyone's eager and expectant eyes, Zhu Di just told them lightly, not to rush to success, let alone fight with anxiety, and then let the officers and men of the whole army rest for a day, so as to recuperate their spirits, and in the end, there was only one sentence,

"It's all gone."

That's it?

And the generals looked at me and I saw thee, but they had nothing else to say, so they scattered one after another, every man to his camp.

When everyone was almost gone, one person remained where he was. Zhu Di looked up after discovering it, but it turned out to be Tan Yuan, so he asked,

"Is there anything else going on with General Tan?"

"yes......"

Seeing that King Yan asked him, Tan Yuan hesitated, but he still stepped forward and said,

"The last general has a request, can Your Highness let the last one serve as the vanguard of this big war?"

"Oh, so it's for this ......"

Zhu Di looked at him scrutinically, and thought for a while,

"There is someone else to serve as the striker of the battle against Sheng Yong this time, and General Tan can just obey the dispatch of the Lone King. By the way, the strong crossbow battalion under the general is temporarily under the command of this king, and the general will go down and rest first. ”

"This ......"

Tan Yuan's face turned blue and red for a while, and he looked like he wanted to say something, but he still held back,

"The last will obey."

Seeing him walking out of the big tent, Zhu Di's heart began to calm down again-

In his mind, Tan Yuan's status is second only to Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng, and even above Qiu Fu, he is one of the confidant generals who once captured the Nine Gates of Beiping with him, and they usually talk about everything together and are intimate. But since the last Cangzhou shooting incident, Zhu Di has also been really angry with him, so he has ignored it, but this does not mean that he wants to abandon it, but he just wants him to cool down for a while and hold back his murderous and irritable character. But judging from Tan Yuan's emotions just now, after this battle, it was still necessary for him to find a time to talk to him.

I have made a plan in my heart, but Zhu Di didn't expect that there would be no more such opportunity......
