Chapter 491: The Mainstay

Rushing upward, Zhu Di suddenly felt dizzy, and almost fell down, so he hurriedly turned around and supported Shuai Case. Zheng He, who was beside him, saw it really clearly, and immediately stepped forward and stretched out his hand to support him, but saw Zhu Di secretly waving his hand, and then hesitated to take a step back.

After closing his eyes and slowing down, Zhu Di turned around and leaned on the handsome case and said,

"Okay, the Lone King won't force everyone, if you want to retreat, you can retreat, but Ying Tiancheng is not far away, even if it is only the Lone King, I will go there!"

"Of course Your Highness will not be alone,"

Before the words fell, Zhu Neng, who was sitting there and never spoke, stood up at this time and paced to the right side step by step,

"And the last general! No matter where you go, the last general will follow your highness, as well as the deceased Zhang Yu and General Zhang, if he is still here, I believe he will also stand on the right! ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Neng took out the sword under his rib and pointed out the outside of the tent, and continued,

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you know where the Lingbi is? Not far from here is Qixia, where 1,600 years ago, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, defeated Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu! In that year, Han Gaozu was defeated in nine out of ten battles, and finally won the world in this battle. Now that His Royal Highness King Yan led our army to win more and lose less, how can there be a reason to give up the attack because of this little setback, and once again attach himself to others as vassals?! ”

After saying this, the generals fell silent, and the tent fell silent again.

At this moment, Zheng Heng walked in from outside the tent, and when he saw this situation, he couldn't help but be surprised and asked,

"What's going on?"

"They're going back to the north of the river,"

Zhu Neng said angrily,

"Your Highness said, if you want to retreat, stand on the left, and if you want to move on, stand on the right."

"Retreat? Why? ”

Zheng Heng glanced at the generals who were already standing on the left with an inexplicable look on his face and said,

"You don't have to ask at all, of course you have to stand on the right."

After speaking, he walked over to Zhu Neng in a few steps and stood up.

This time, the somewhat tragic and embarrassing atmosphere in the tent instantly became a little laughable.

Seeing that he rushed back, Zhu Di immediately shifted his grateful gaze from Zhu Neng to Zheng Heng's body and asked,

"How? Did you find any news? ”

"I found out,"

Hearing his question, Zheng Heng immediately looked very excited and said,

"As Your Highness said, Jianwen really transferred the Duke of Wei back to the capital. However, the strange thing is that Ping'an also left Lingbi and went to the capital, and now the lord of the city guarding the city will be He Fu. ”

"It's wonderful! Finally this moment has come! ”

Zhu Di happily turned around and stood in front of the terrain map again.

"Xu Huizu is about to be transferred back to the capital, and he came here to escort grain and grass this time. King Gu sent people to investigate, in addition to the generals of the Southern Army in Lingbi City, there were also many officials of all sizes in the court who went to supervise the war, so those supplies alone were not enough. In my opinion, the reason why Ping'an left Lingbi must be because there was still a shortage of grain and grass in the city, and he led his troops to protect the grain trucks. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Di stopped, thought for a moment, turned his head and glanced at the generals who were still advocating retreating to the north bank of the river just now,

"This grain cart is the lifeblood of the defenders in Lingbi City, and it is also their hope, and Ping An will definitely devote most of his troops to escort it. Therefore, the Lone King decided to rob his grain cart, and at the same time inflict heavy losses on the main force of Ping'an, so that they would be defeated in a battle and would have no power to fight back! Is there any of you who would like to go with me? Or do you still want to go back to the North Shore? ”

"This ......"

These generals looked at each other, Zhang Wuxian stood up and arched his hand,

"The last general is willing to follow His Highness to fight with him, please forgive the last general for the crime of building an army just now."

"We are willing to follow His Highness, please forgive us for our sins!"

And all the other generals also stood up and saluted.

Zhu Di waved his hand and said slowly,

"It's been almost three years since this battle was fought, and how can I blame you for all the hard work you've worked so hard to follow me? It's just that now that I've arrived here, seeing that victory is not far away, the Lone King just wants to ask you to grit your teeth again, rush through this difficulty with me, and let's fight to the capital together. ”

"I'm willing to follow!"

The generals once again said in unison.

This is really the last difficulty before the victory, in fact, it proves that Zhu Di's insistence is absolutely wise and resolute, and afterwards those generals also knew, thanks to the decision of their Royal Highness, and led everyone to knock on the door of victory......

After another day's rest, the sentinel cavalry sent to report that the southern army had indeed brought a lot of grain and grass supplies from the direction of the capital, and 60,000 horses and horses were escorted on the left and right flanks.

"It's wonderful,"

Summoning the generals to the Chinese army tent, Zhu Di was confident,

"The southern army was originally not too many, and Ping An brought out more than 60,000 people this time, which gave our army the opportunity to destroy its main force and hurt its vitality.

"Your Highness, please!"

After listening to this analysis, all the generals were full of energy and confident.

Zhu Di nodded, and then began to send generals, ordering Qiu Fu and Zheng Heng to be the vanguard, leading 10,000 iron horsemen to attack the grain truck. Zhu Neng led 30,000 light cavalry to block the horse infantry army led by Ping An on two wings, and personally led the rest of the generals to lead the infantry army to support Zhu Neng.

Just after assigning the generals, I suddenly saw Zhu Gaoxu rushing into the tent with his younger brother Zhu Gaosui.

"Daddy, you can assign a task to your sons too!"

"Oh......"

Zhu Di looked up at the two children, couldn't help laughing, and said,

"Okay, your father and I happen to have an important messenger, so I'll leave it to the two of you."

"Okay, okay, Dad, say it quickly!"

Zhu Gaochu is different from his son Zhu Gaochi, he is naturally stronger, brave and aggressive, and he is very excited when he hears that he is going to fight.

Zhu Di pulled his two sons to the topography map and pointed with his hand,

"After Dad takes people to grab food, He Fu in Lingbi City will definitely come out to answer him. There are many dense forests on the road in this area, Gao Xu, my father will give you two tasks, one is to take 10,000 light horsemen to hide in the forest next to this road, but remember, when He Fu leads the troops out of the city, don't pay attention to them, until they retreat to the city when they are defeated, and kill him fiercely for a while, the more fierce the better, understand? ”

"Understood, don't worry!"

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu almost jumped up with joy, suddenly remembered something, and asked,

"And what about another task? Didn't Dad say there were two missions? ”

"yes,"

Zhu Di's eyes were filled with a touch of love, saying,

"This second task is to take care of your brother, after all, he is three years younger than you, and he has not been on the battlefield as long as you, so protect him."

"Well, got it,"

Zhu Gaoxu nodded, glanced at his younger brother,

"I'll let him stay with me, and no one will hurt him!"

"Good, good,"

Zhu Di nodded, patted him on the shoulder and said,

"Although you are the team that will give the final blow to the other side along the way, you need to prepare in advance, go and eat quickly, and then set off with troops."

"Okay!"

The two brothers happily took the arrows and left.
