Chapter 37: Be content, O man
Geng Bingwen finally waited for this day.
Zhu Di is not any of them, but Zhu Di is definitely not inferior to any of them.
Almost without thinking, Geng Bingwen made the decision to unite the troops, and he moved all the military camps on the south bank to the north bank.
Geng Bingwen's style is still the style he has guarded for ten years, steady and steady, the enemy does not move, I do not move, I am here, I will fight if you come, if you don't come, I will squat, quite like a thousand-year-old king and 80,000-year-old turtle.
Zhu Di stood on a high place, holding a telescope in his hand, and saw with his own eyes that the southern soldiers moved from the south bank of the Hutuo River to the north bank, which is indeed very in line with Geng Bingwen's style, but for Zhu Di, it doesn't matter.
If there were no spears and cannons, Zhu Di would definitely try every means to make Geng Bing's troops unite, he didn't want to attack the southern army on the south bank or the north bank, the troops on the other side would help, so that he would be vulnerable to the enemy.
But now, with spears and artillery, he can set up cannons on the south or north bank, and as long as the soldiers on that side dare to rescue, he can attack with artillery.
A steady stream of resources was transported from Beiping City, and the people of Beiping City came to Zhu Di's camp with wheelbarrows, burdens, or food on their shoulders.
Zhu Di stood at the gate of the camp, watching these ordinary people unload the food they sent, and turned around and left without saying a word, he was furious.
"Uncle, this is ...... What's going on? Who sent you the task from the Yan Wangfu? ”
Zhu Di grabbed an old elder and restrained the anger in his heart, if Guo Zi or the prince gave such an order, he would definitely punish him severely.
Beiping is his base area, and only when he has the support of the common people can he not become a rootless tree and a source of water, and only then can he hope to win this battle of Jingjing.
A fire in the backyard is a terrible thing at any time.
The old man waved his hand, "No one called me to come, this year the field has collected a thousand catties of sweet potatoes, I heard that the vine can be used as a seed, we also kept some, listen to the four princes' people teach us, buried in the cellar, you can eat until next year, a little more grain, I will send it." ”
"Uncle, we are not short of military rations!" Zhu Gaoxian rushed over to drive the people back, "Take them all back, you can't finish eating and keep them, how can there be food that can't be eaten?" Eat more if you can't finish eating. ”
"How big can a man's belly be? Two meals a day is enough, and any more, it is a waste to eat. Besides, without the fourth prince, can there be so much food at home? People, you must be content, you must know how to be grateful, otherwise, God will not be able to stand it. ”
Zhu Gaoxian's nose was sour, and the people were afraid that he would force him to bring the grain back, so he put down the grain and ran away, as if someone was chasing him behind him.
Zhu Gaoxian did chase after him with a basket, "Uncle, bring this back, eggs can be exchanged for silver!" ”
"Fourth prince, I specially brought it to you, the eggs used to be exchanged for money, last time you gave a pound of white sugar, in exchange for ten taels of silver, we don't have to sell eggs for a year."
Zhu Di looked at all this in a daze, a big man, he actually wanted to cry a little, the meaning of requisitioning grain and spontaneously sending grain is completely different.
In the camp, the soldiers were very silent, watching the food at the gate of the camp piled higher and higher, and there was an endless stream of ordinary people coming to deliver food in the distance.
Zhu Gaoxian stopped them, "Go back first, everyone go back first, when I don't have it, I'll ask you for food, send these now, we can't finish eating!" ”
An old man patted Zhu Gaoxian's hand, "Four princes, we are all sincere, we are really grateful to the four princes, as long as the four princes fight in the future, our food will be delivered!" ”
How can you live up to such affection?
Zhu Gaoxian only felt that his heart was very heavy, he watched the people come and go, clenched his fists tightly, his heart was surging, and he was speechless.
The mood is complicated and these soldiers who follow Zhu Di, at this moment, everyone's hearts are full of warmth, they are rebels who rebelled, but if the people don't think they are thieves, they are not!
On the fifteenth day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, in Zhu Di's camp, there was laughter, cannons were placed in the four corners, sergeants with guns were patrolling, the gang leaders set up a cauldron, the food sent by the people, plus sugar, was stewed in the pot, the tongue of fire licked the bottom of the pot, and the food exuded bursts of fragrance.
After a while, it was time to eat.
Zhu Di took a big bowl, sat with the sergeants, and drank sugar porridge in a big gulp, the porridge was stewed from sweet potatoes and rice, with sugar added to it.
Happiness bubbles.
After a full meal, Zhu Di threw away the bowl and stood up, "After eating, let's start attacking the city!" ”
Geng Bingwen saw that Zhu Di was celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there were still ordinary people spontaneously sending food to Zhu Di, he was simply stunned, what did Zhu Di do to make the people grateful so much?
He is also celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival here, thinking that Zhu Di should not spoil his mood tonight, after all, there were people who came to deliver food just now, and he changed anyone, so he was not excited and enlightened, it was really unreasonable!
Geng Bingwen and Li Jian poured two taels of wine and drank lightly, neither of them had the intention of drinking, it was purely for a scene, and it was not necessarily not to dispel sorrow.
Li Jiannai is Zhu Yunwen's uncle, his father Li Ying followed Emperor Taizu in his early years, and made meritorious contributions with the famous general Fu Youde, killing hundreds of people in the Yunnan counterinsurgency, Emperor Taizu was grateful for his bravery, and married the seventh daughter to Li Jian.
Both of them are relatives of the emperor, holding wine glasses, listening to the sound of the soldiers outside carnivaling, but they are relatively speechless.
The atmosphere was dreary.
Suddenly, a cannon rang out, followed by a fire in the middle of the camp, reflecting half of the sky red, and wailing erupted.
Geng Bingwen and Xu Kai threw down their wine glasses, rushed out of the camp, and looked at everything in front of them, their minds went blank for an instant.
The stump rose into the air, the flesh and blood rained down in the sky, the shrapnel scattered, and the ground was full of dead and wounded.
Rumble!
Four shells flew over from the south bank again, Geng Bingwen looked into the distance, across a river, he saw the cannon on the other side of the river, visually measured the distance, and sure enough, the range was about ten miles.
Zhang Bao didn't lie to them, and the Yan Jun who guarded Zhang Bao didn't lie to Zhang Bao either, but they chose not to believe it, even if they saw it with their own eyes at this time, Geng Bingwen still couldn't believe it.
Zhu Gaoxu was so excited, he tied more than a dozen grenades around his waist, rode a war horse and rushed into the enemy camp, and threw the grenades out, and there were dead and wounded within four or five feet, leaving a way to go.
"Follow me!" Zhu Gaoxu shouted, and led the soldiers behind him to rush directly into the enemy camp, as if entering no man's land.
Li Jian was stunned for a long time before he woke up, and his back was already soaked with cold sweat.
The Yan army actually has such a powerful weapon against the sky, how can this battle be fought?
He locked on Zhu Gaoxu at a glance, this kid actually threw the bomb in his hand, if he wanted to turn defeat into victory and escape today, the only way to start with him was to start with him.
