Oh, I see......"

The generals listened and nodded, but it could be seen that some people still had doubts about this strategy.

Zhu Di didn't care whether they were convinced or not, and continued,

"However, although it is said that we are going south in one go, it is appropriate to seize the opportunity to show the interests of those southern troops who have been left behind by our army, lest they think that we are just running vigorously in front. Just now I got a report that Ping An had caught up, so King Gu planned to catch him off guard on the edge of the river. ”

"Peace?!"

First of all, Xue Lu jumped up first, because he had been captured by Ping'ansheng, although he fled back, but the evil breath in his heart has been difficult to calm down, I heard that now he is the first to chase after him, and hurriedly asked,

"Your Highness, let me go!"

"Oh, of course,"

Seeing that his subordinates were so interested in facing Ping'an, Zhu Di felt even more confident in his heart, and smiled,

"This battle must be fought so that he doesn't dare to chase it again, so the Lone King is ready to fight with everyone, and fight back wherever peace comes from."

"Yes!"

Hearing his words, all the generals were very happy and replied in unison.

At the moment, Zhu Di asked Zhu Neng and Qiu Fu to command the headquarters to sweep the rear formation, and at the same time guard against the movements of the southern army in various places in the south, so that Bai Yi, Wang Zhen, and Liu Jiang each led more than 100 cavalry to continue to lure the enemy, and he personally led most of the infantry cavalry to set up an ambush by the river, just waiting for the safe pursuers to arrive.

And said that Ping An really didn't expect that King Yan would give him this trick "back to the horse gun", he thought that he was already very familiar with the other party's way of fighting, if he was as fast as the wind, it would be very good to be able to catch up with him, where did he think of chasing, suddenly a cannon sounded, the Yan army ambushed all around, besieged his men and horses, and then the vanguard general was killed.

Could it be that he fell for King Yan's trick to lure the enemy, and the other party originally planned to do so-

This idea immediately jumped out of Ping'an's mind, and realized that Zhu Di had made such a move because he saw that the southern army was mainly defensive, leading them to take the initiative to attack, and secretly said in his heart that he had fallen for the other party's plan. With this impression, Ping An no longer thought about it, and immediately ordered the whole army to retreat, almost no more counterattacks, then turned around and ran back, and ran to Suzhou in one go.

Although he won this battle, Wang Zhen, one of the three generals who were responsible for luring the enemy, was seriously injured in the battle, and in order not to be captured by the other party, he drew his sword and killed himself on the spot, which also made Zhu Di's mood heavy again, and he was even more determined to fight to the capital.

The next battle was to go south at the same time, looking for an opportunity to counterattack the southern army that had been left in the north, cutting off the grain route in Xuzhou, repelling the attack of Tie Xuan, and then the whole army arrived near the small river in Suishui, and began to build pontoon bridges and prepare to cross the river.

If the Yan army successfully crosses the river, then it will be only more than 300 miles away from the central capital Fengyang, and it can be said that it will almost reach the gate of the capital, and those generals of the southern army will definitely not watch it. Zhu Di naturally understands this, and knows that if they fight again this time, they will definitely face a hard battle, but the Yan army has been trying to win in danger again and again, and has worked hard all the way, and has long regarded hard fighting as normal.

Sure enough, just as the pontoon bridge was about to be built, Ping An led the army to kill again and launched an offensive on two wings, and the two sides actually fought fiercely around the pontoon bridge. Although the Yan army killed many soldiers of the Southern Army, they also folded the general Chen Wen on their side, and Zhu Di ordered the whole army to temporarily withdraw to the north bank of the river. And Ping'an led the southern army and stationed on the south bank of the river, probably thinking that such a deployment would at least prevent the road to Fengyang.

In this way, the confrontation and fighting across the river later, the southern army gradually could not support it, because their food and grass were really limited, and there was not much left, and Ping'an had to prepare to withdraw the whole army.

And Zhu Di had already received the relevant information, and calculated that it was almost time, so he sent secret agents to pay close attention to the movements of the southern army, and really got the news of the movement of the southern army, and immediately made arrangements for the attack.

Since the two generals Wang Zhen and Chen Wen were defeated again, Zhu Di has decided not to let other generals be the vanguard, and has returned to the previous state of being responsible for himself every time. Leaving Qiu Fu and Zheng Heng with thousands of people to stay on the riverbank, creating the illusion that the Yan army was still stationed in the same place, he led the whole army and quietly crossed the river after dark.

The southern army was retreating at this time, and did not realize that the Yan army had been killed from behind, and when Zhu Di led the army to rush towards them, Ping An had to reorganize the team and rush to the battle, and suddenly fell into passivity, and began to intercept and retreat.

Seeing that the victory had been reached, Zhu Di wanted to order the whole army to launch a final attack, but at this critical moment, a group of about 10,000 people of the southern army was killed from behind the Yan army, and it seemed that there was no fatigue and the combat effectiveness was also extremely strong.

How is this possible, according to the reports of various routes, the other southern armies are still far away, and there is no sign of rushing to reinforce -

With great surprise in his heart, Zhu Di divided his troops and turned around to meet the other party's reinforcements behind him, but when he saw the other party's banner that seemed to be deliberately shown to him, his head suddenly "buzzed", because the other party's main general was the only person he didn't want to meet, and he didn't want to meet on the battlefield the last time, Xu Huizu, the governor of the left army.

In fact, not only Zhu Di, but even Xu Huizu himself didn't expect to meet his brother-in-law again in this state, and they also fought hand-to-hand.

Because there have always been some people in the DPRK who are jealous and even suspicious of Xu Huizu because of his special status, although some people remember this famous general, it is never recommended to hand over the power of the coach to him. This time, after King Yan raised troops to the south again, because Shandong seemed to have weak troops, Zhu Yunwen once asked Xu Huizu to command 30,000 troops to support Shandong, but who knew that Zhu Di did not go from there at all, and seeing that it had no effect, he had to transfer him back to the capital.

On the way back to the capital, the court learned that the shortage of grain and grass in the Ping'an Department was very serious, so under the supervision of Mei Yin, he raised some grain and grass supplies, and asked Xu Huizu to be responsible for directly transporting it, which happened to arrive at this time.

Xu Huizu is more familiar with Zhu Di's tactical play than Ping An, after all, the two of them have partnered together for a long time. Seeing this situation, he immediately asked the deputy general to take 20,000 people to protect the grain and grass vehicles, and he unified 10,000 people to kill the Yan army from the rear to relieve the siege of peace.

Seeing that the person who came to reinforce turned out to be Xu Huizu, Zhu Di didn't know what his mood was, and immediately led the whole army to collect troops and return to the camp. Just after Zhu Di led the army to withdraw, Xu Huizu joined forces with Ping'an, retreated to the vicinity of Qimei Mountain in the southwest of Lingbi City, and set up a large camp.

When the day was getting brighter, the Yan army, which had rested in the second half of the night, arrived at the south bank. Although this can be regarded as taking Xiaohe down, almost all the generals in the Yan army camp know that there is a strong opponent like Xu Huizu on the other side.
