54. Southern Army: Zhu Di is just a fluke
After seeing Zhang Bao, Zhu Di handed over the rest to Zhu Neng.
Waiting for Zhang Bao to go to the camp first, Zhu Neng frowned slightly, and said: "I think that I should not test Zhang Bao, so as not to be cheated." What did Mr. Cheng say to the prince? ”
After he finished speaking, Zhu Di looked at Zhu Neng and said in a low voice: "That kid told this king that in order to ensure that he could test Zhang Bao, this matter will be handed over to you." ”
Zhu can do things, Zhu Di is relieved, he is a particularly veteran general, and he did not show joy because of Zhang Bao's surrender, but rationally analyzed the pros and cons.
Then Zhu Gaoxu said that he had arranged to be on duty and a sentry, and when he saw Zhu Neng going away, he said to Zhu Di: "Although Uncle Zhu is worried, the child feels that he is too cautious, Mr. Cheng's words can show us the way, and the child believes in him." ”
Zhu Di nodded approvingly, glanced at Zhu Gaoxu and said: "Yes, you have half of my staff, don't use suspicious people, don't doubt people, I follow Chengyuan's, but what should be protected, you have to protect at night." ”
Looking at the direction of Yingtian, if he Zhu Yunwen was really smart, then he would not be standing here, which can only show that his eldest nephew is still a little tender.
Zhu Di walked into the big tent of the Chinese army, and poked it fiercely with his sword in the real position on the map: "This time, I not only want to add 10,000 soldiers and horses for nothing, but also take back General Geng himself with his soldiers and horses, and dare not attack me Zhu Di again." ”
Then he ordered: "Guo Zhending must pass through a county town, and in the past few days, according to what Cheng Yuan's letter said, arrange for our soldiers and horses to pretend to be deserters from time to time to confuse the public. ”
"Yes, lord." Zhang Yu took the order.
"The kid wrote it down." Zhu Gaosui said.
Zhu Di admired Geng Bingwen in his heart, so he did not insult Geng Bingwen, and in his heart the generals were all respectable.
Moreover, Geng Bingwen has advantages and perseverance that ordinary people can't match.
Unlike Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai, they provoked the love between the vassal king and His Majesty, and turned against each other.
At this time, Geng Bingwen's subordinates had a general named Zhao Bai, who had never fought Zhu Di head-on, and had always belonged to the Beijing Army and the Southern Army, and his ancestral home was Zhejiang.
Zhao Bai was arranged by Geng Bingwen in an unnamed county town sixty miles away from the camp of the Southern Army, some distance from Zhending.
After he heard that Zhu Di's army was going to come directly to Zhending to fight Geng Bingwen, he was very disdainful and arrogant.
This Zhao Bai, like many Southern Army, thinks that Zhu Di is just a border king, and every time he wins, it is only because he is familiar with many soldiers that the blind cat meets a dead mouse.
It's not that Zhu Di is really brave and good at fighting, and he can't wait for Zhu Di to attack Zhending immediately, what kind of army is the Yan army, which is less than tens of thousands of horses.
Zhao Bai believes that as long as the army of the imperial court encircles and suppresses, Zhu Di will be scared to the point of urine, and they will be like a group of panicked wild dogs, with no hiding place anywhere.
Therefore, the southern general Zhao Bai did not take Zhu Di in his eyes, he had already set up a killing mechanism in the small city that Zhu Di must pass through when he went to Zhending.
Zhao Bai was ranked as a pioneer by Geng Bingwen, which also shows that Zhao Bai is indeed capable, but compared to Zhu Di, it is still far behind.
Before Geng Bingwen sent Zhao Bai to fight, he had repeatedly told him that he could not take Zhu Di's life, and Zhu Di was the son of Taizu.
Zhao Bai followed Geng Bingwen, and naturally learned a lot of battles, the most important of which was that he was a city defender.
Sending people to the periphery of Zhu Di's camp, Zhao Bai got a news that Zhu Di's camp had deserters every day.
After they inquired, they heard that Zhu Di's camp was already panicked, and when they heard that the southern army was coming, they had long wanted to escape alive.
There are also spies who said that they saw that King Yan ordered people to escort hundreds of deserters, and after saying that, they buried them alive and beheaded them.
In the days that followed, it was rumored that Zhu Di was so frightened that he wanted to withdraw his troops.
Zhao Bai couldn't help laughing, he felt that Zhu Di was a fool, and as soon as the imperial army arrived, he was so scared that he wanted to flee for his life.
He imagined even more that he had a knife on Zhu Di's neck, watching him kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, and he didn't leave a piece of Zhu Di armor with 10,000 elite soldiers.
Then cut off Zhu Di's head with a knife.
After all, His Majesty said that he should not be charged with killing his own uncle, and Zhao Bai felt that he was willing to bear the charge for Jianwen, and when the time came, he would say that he was manslaughter.
Immediately, he asked people to send a message to Geng Bingwen.
said that he wanted to attack Zhu Di.
Geng Bingwen gave him two orders.
First, continue to guard the small county town.
Second, Zhu Di must be left alive, the son of Taizu, and their courtiers have no right to kill him.
Zhao Bai had no choice but to be patient and continue to guard the small county town, waiting for Zhu Di and them to come over, or Geng Bingwen asked him to attack, he rushed forward with his elite soldiers and killed the Yan thief.
But the southern army slowly began to spread a sentence: Zhu Di, the swallow thief, is just a fluke and has no real ability.
……………………
Early summer, Peiping Province.
The weather is getting hotter day by day, and the greenhouses have been completely built, and because of the room temperature, the corn has begun to flocculate.
Cheng Yuan's side also quickly received a reply from Zhu Di, the king of Yan, saying that the southern generals were guarding the county seat in front of Zhending, and they wanted to attack.
Seeing the letter, Zhu Di said that he wanted to take his soldiers to attack the city, which shocked Cheng Yuan.
Then Cheng Yuan went to find Zhu Gaochi and Princess Yan Xu, saying that Zhu Di was going to lead troops to charge and attack the small county town.
Xu said: "Sir, don't worry, the prince has always been like this, when he fought with the Northern Yuan, he wore armor and rushed by himself, Zhu Neng and Zhang Yu persuaded them many times, but he didn't listen." ”
"Then people got used to it." Zhu Gaochi smiled and handed over the hot tea.
Zhu Bai, the king of Xiang, was also there, and he was not surprised when he heard this: "Among our vassal brothers, many of them have led soldiers, but there are not many who can be supported by soldiers like the fourth brother, which has a lot to do with the fourth brother's righteousness and leading the way." It's definitely not a show. ”
Cheng Yuan really knew Zhu Di at this time, and it seems that this Yan King does have the ability to make the soldiers admire.
After the negotiation was over, Dao Yan had already walked in, saying that he had prepared the grain and grass that King Yan needed and would send it tomorrow.
Cheng Yuan shook his head and said, "Master, the grain and grass can't be delayed, I think we should immediately arrange for people to send the grain and grass to Zhending." ”
Zhu Bai sat down, looked at Dao Yan and Zhu Gaochi next to him, and said to Cheng Yuan: "Qiu Fu has led people to dig trenches these days, and we have to arrange a competent person to go." ”
Zhu Bai's princess has already given birth to a daughter, Zhu Gaochi's family, Zhang's gave birth to a son, the name has not yet been decided, and it will be decided when Zhu Di returns.
Xu also thought about it, she was Xu Da's eldest daughter, and she knew how to write and use force, but she must not be allowed to go.
Everyone fell into deep thought for a while, sending grain and grass to the past is not just looking for someone, it must be found reliable and safe.
