Chapter 85: If You Can't Give It to Me, Then I'll Rob It Myself!
When Zhu Di couldn't attack and threatened to release water to pour into Jinan, Tie Xuan sent people to surrender, opened the city gate to lead Zhu Di to the door, and suddenly put down the jack gate, almost crushing Zhu Di into a piece of meatloaf, but he was a little unlucky, and finally just pressed his horse's head.
The angry Zhu Di brought in cannons to blast open the city wall of Jinan, but when the gunners found that Tie Xuan had hung something on the city wall, no one dared to open the cannon. Zhu Di scolded in his mouth after getting the report, but he also didn't dare to give the order to open fire, because on the city wall was the god seat of his father Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.
The shelling of Jinan became the shelling of Zhu Yuanzhang, and no one dared to bear this responsibility, so Zhu Di had no choice but to give up.
Zhu Di was at a loss for three months under the city of Jinan, from May to August, the season entered the autumn from summer, Yao Guangxiao, who defended Beiping, saw that something was wrong, and then it could become Zhu Di's last autumn, he sent someone to bring a message: Shi Lao, please class teacher.
Zhu Di himself was aware of this problem, so he had to give up Jinan and retreat north unwillingly.
Of course, Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan would not let go of this good opportunity, taking advantage of the retreat of the northern army, they opened the city gate and rushed to kill, and Chen Heng, the commander of the rear army of the northern army, was also severely injured.
The Battle of Jinan was a crucial turning point, as Tie Xuan and Sheng Yong did not receive support from the imperial court, and they single-handedly resisted the previously invincible Zhu Di. This merit naturally has to be greatly rewarded, Emperor Jianwen promoted Tiexuan to the secretary of the military department, Feng Shengyong was the candidate of Licheng, and took over Li Jinglong's position.
Jinling was occupied by Zhu Huan, the 100,000 troops of Yanwangfu went south, Zhenjiang was also lost, and Emperor Jianwen was also lost.
The southern army stole the house, if it was put on top of other armies, it is estimated that they would have given up struggling a long time ago, after all, the emperor is gone, what are they still fighting for?
However, because of Sheng Yong and the iron strings, they carried the girder of the southern army, and crossed the north and south like a moat.
As long as Sheng Yong and Tiexian do not die, the southern army will not be completely defeated for a day.
Now that Zhang Fu heard Zhu Huan say that he wanted to fight Jinan, the only thought in his heart was: His mother has a milky white snow, this prince is hot pot too much, and his head is also burned?
"The Great Age of Genes"
At the beginning, I said that I would only fight one Xuzhou, and now I have hit all the way to Pei County, cutting off the grain road of the Southern Army, and now you still want to fight Jinan??
Why don't you say that you broke through all the way to Liaodong!
"Lord Wang, the minister is disrespectful, I advise you to think twice." Zhang Fu said worriedly: "Now that we have captured Pei County, we have cut off the grain route of the southern army, as long as it continues to drag on, it won't be long before the southern army will not be able to hold on, why are you in a hurry?" ”
Zhu Huan thought to himself: Wait for the Southern Army to be unable to hold on, Lao Tzu has already been cut off from his military power and will be the prince of peace in Jinling City, I will wait for the yarn!
Of course, neither of them said the words in their hearts directly, Zhu Huan said earnestly: "Zhang Fu, you have to think in the long run, this king attacked Jinan, do you really think that this king is just greedy for military achievements?" For you, or Zhu Neng, Li Bin, Qiu Fu and others, military merit is the way for you to be promoted to a knighthood, but this king is the son of the first emperor and is already the king of Qi, is there still room for sealing? ”
Of course, the vassal king still has room to be sealed, emperor!
However, Zhang Fu didn't think about it in that direction, he asked a little tangled: "Then why do you still want to fight Jinan, prince?" ”
Zhu Huan thought about it, hesitated for a long time, and finally thought of a good reason to fool Zhang Fu, so he asked, "Do you have a map here?" ”
"Maps? Of course there is, you come with me. ”
Zhu Huan and Zhang Fu went to the command post in the barracks, which was the place where the generals of the Peixian military camp discussed military aircraft in the past, and there was a map drawn on the wall with civilized paper, which was quite exquisite, basically listing the strategic deployment of the southern army in Zailudi, Jiangxi, Zhili and other places.
"Where is this?" Zhu Huan asked, pointing to the red dots marked with cinnabar on the map.
"Your Highness, isn't this Pei County, it's all written on the map." Zhang Fu felt a little inexplicable.
"And where is this?" Zhu Huan pointed to the top of the map again and asked.
Zhang Fu frowned slightly and said, "This is the main defensive front of the Southern Army, Dingzhou, Cangzhou, and Dezhou. ”
"Yes, this is the outer defensive front of the Southern Army in the northern theater, and it is also the front with the largest number of garrisons, with Dezhou as the core, connecting Dingzhou and Cangzhou, forming a solid defense of the triangle. It's like a bowstring, which may be able to exert absolute pressure on a point for a short period of time, but it will soon bounce back. Zhu Huan asked: "Do you know how many soldiers and horses the Southern Army has on this outer front?" ”
Zhang Fu pondered for a while, and then said: "After the battles of Jiahe and Huicheng, although the southern army suffered heavy losses, the main force of the southern army is still in Dezhou, and it is almost ...... About 200,000. ”
"That's right, the main force of the Southern Army of Texas is 200,000, and the iron string department in Jinan has nearly 100,000." Zhu Huan looked directly into Zhang Fu's eyes: "Although we occupied Pei County, but this is in the hinterland of the Southern Army, we robbed Pei County, the granary of the Southern Army, it is hard to say whether the iron string will move, but Sheng Yong will definitely bite us like crazy, do you think we can stand it?" ”
Can it be kept?
Of course you can hold it!
An army of 200,000 seems to be an exaggeration, but in fact, it is impossible for Sheng Yong to mobilize an army of 200,000 to fight Pei County!
If Sheng Yong really mobilized 200,000 troops to attack Peixian, then the northern battlefield could be declared destroyed. Not only will the outer defensive front of the Southern Army collapse, but even Jinan, which is guarded with iron strings, will also suffer.
took back Pei County, but Sheng Yong only had Pei County left at that time.
But what Zhu Huan didn't deceive Zhang Fu was that Sheng Yong would definitely come to fight Pei County, but the army would not exceed 100,000, and once this number was exceeded, the huge price would be unbearable for Sheng Yong.
In a war of the same size, Zhu Huan has absolute confidence that he can win. Especially in the defensive battle, if Sheng Yong wants to fight Peixian, he doesn't want to bring 300,000 troops to fight down!
However, Zhu Huan didn't think about sticking to Peixian at all, waiting to defend Sheng Yong.
What's in it for him?
Consume his Zhu Huan's family wealth to fulfill Zhu Di?
If it is Zhu Di before, then he is worthy of Zhu Huan to work so hard. But now, what Zhu Huan wants is to preserve his strength as much as possible and go all the way north to take Liaodong.
As for whether he wants to continue to fight with Zhu Di after taking Liaodong, it depends on whether Zhu Di is willing to fight.
If you really want to fight, Zhu Huan will definitely not be intimidated.
He wasn't sure if he would be able to win against Zhu Di, but he was sure that Zhu Di, who could fight, would not be able to be the emperor.
Zhu Huan would rather go to the jade burning than be a prince of peace.
Zhu Di promised him that he would be given freedom after the war and let him do what he wanted, Chen Bing frontier, and be the gatekeeper of the Ming Dynasty.
Since Zhu Di can't do it now, then Zhu Huan will take it himself!
You Zhu Di can't give it to me, then I'll grab it myself!
