After King Yan took Juzhou, he rested in place while rectifying and surrendering the army.

Two days later, Zhu Gaoxu, Zhang Yu and others from the rear were called to Juzhou one after another.

Zhu Gaoxu came to the outside of the city of Juzhou with soldiers and horses, because there was no place inside, so he was stationed outside, at this time he had 2,000 soldiers and horses, and after a battle, there were more.

In the battle of Yueyang River, he lost more than 100 people, some of whom were seriously injured by Fang Yanping and brought back to Beiping for treatment, he made up more than 300 people, and then before leaving, he recruited more than 300 troops from Zhang Yu's reorganized army, making up 2,000.

After arriving in Juzhou City, he asked Xu Xiang, Chen Wen and others to reorganize their soldiers and horses, and match the old and the new, but to ensure that there were two hundred cavalry, all of which were elite, and they would follow him, and these two teams of soldiers and horses were led by Xu Xiang and Chen Wen personally.

The day after Zhu Gaoxu came to Juzhou, it was similar to the original history, when an official named Zhang Bao came to surrender with more than a dozen people.

He told Yan King Geng Bingwen that there were 130,000 soldiers and horses, half of which were on the south bank of the Hutuo River and half on the north bank of the Hutuo River, echoing each other from afar.

King Yan let him go back and asked him to bring false information to Geng Bingwen.

Then a meeting of the generals was called.

King Yan said that after Zhang Bao returned, he would tell Geng Bingwen that the Yan army would attack Zhending, and that there were a large number of southern army baggage and grain and grass in Zhending City, and Geng Bingwen would definitely retreat to Zhending, and transfer all the soldiers and horses on the south bank to the north bank.

At that time, while their troops are not stable, we will attack and defeat them in one fell swoop.

The generals applauded.

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, he couldn't figure out why King Yan did this?

According to his understanding, there are only half of the soldiers and horses of the southern army on the north bank, and the soldiers and horses of the Yan army are similar to them.

Then, when the troops and horses on the north bank retreated to the south bank, wouldn't it be better to take advantage of the victory and pursue them?

However, he is half a layman when he fights, and he can only act according to the orders of King Yan.

Because historically, King Yan did just that.

This incident made Zhu Gaoxu feel that the ancients were very easy to fool, because a casual decision of Zhang Bao, who was not known by Xiao Xiaoya, easily changed the trend of one of the most important battles in Jingjing, the Battle of Zhending.

Zhending is one of the most important cities in the south of Hebei.

The imperial court set up the Pingyan Political Envoy Department here, and let the Criminal Department Shangshu Tyrant Zhao be the political envoy, and Zhending was the base camp for heavy grain and grass, of course, it knew the importance of this place.

If it is really fixed, it is impossible for the soldiers and horses of King Yan to go south, and if it is lost, the soldiers and horses of King Yan can enter Shandong at any time, and then force to the Beijing division.

Knowing that Juzhou and Xiongxian were attacked by Yan in just a few days, Geng Bingwen's originally gray hair became a little whiter.

He hasn't slept well in the past few days, mainly because he has been relatively successful in the past few decades, and this is a big defeat in the late season, how to explain to the saint.

On August 22, Zhang Bao, the tooth general who had returned from an outing, reported to him that Yan was preparing to gather all his troops and horses, as if he was going to attack Zhending City in a big way.

Geng Bingwen actually believed it, and immediately decided to transfer the soldiers and horses from the south bank to the north bank to defend together.

As soon as he announced this matter in the camp, Sheng Yong thought for a while and said, "Old general, the last general has an idea. ”

"General Sheng, please speak." Geng Bingwen said.

"The main force of Yan's rebellion is here, we might as well defend Zhending City, and at the same time transfer more than 10,000 elite horsemen, bypass Baoding from the west, and drive straight to Beiping."

"If Beiping is well defended, then go to attack Yongping, cooperate with Wu Gao and Yang Wen, and go down to Yongping first, and then Yan will inevitably be in chaos."

"If they still don't divide their troops, let's fight back to Xiongxian."

"Xiongxian was taken away, and there is no way for Yan to retreat, and Yan will definitely divide the troops and even retreat."

"At that time, our whole army will fight back, and we have a good chance to win in one battle."

Ping'an on the side heard Sheng Yong's words, and looked at Sheng Yong in surprise, Sheng Yong's words were very appetizing to him.

Ping An is good at using cavalry, and the largest cavalry in Geng Bingwen's array is led by him, and he feels that what Sheng Yong said is very reasonable.

But Sheng Yong will be a bit pretentious, and deliberately put forward this strategy when discussing in the camp.

In fact, if he had told Geng Bingwen in advance in private, Geng Bingwen might have agreed after considering it.

But it is extremely bold and risky for him to mention this strategy to his face.

And once he wins, it will be Sheng Yong's credit, and if he loses, Geng Bingwen will have to take the blame.

Geng Bingwen himself is timid and likes to defend, and he was a little unhappy when he heard this.

The old man is the main general, if you listen to you and win, whose credit is this?

And Geng Bingwen thinks that as long as he sticks to the truth, Yan can't counterattack here, and it's useless.

He thought for a moment and said slowly: "The imperial court needs time to mobilize troops and horses and prepare supplies, but Yan Shun wants to fight quickly. ”

"Yan Wei only has one side in Beiping, and the resources are limited, so it can't consume the imperial court."

"Right now, like the Battle of Changping in the Warring States, we are many times stronger than Zhao State."

"So as long as you keep the truth, don't rush it." Geng Bingwen angrily denied Sheng Yong's style of play.

Sheng Yong's face was full of disappointment, and he bowed his head and said nothing.

After the meeting ended, Sheng Yong left the government sullenly, and they used the original Jinyi Wei to discuss the matter.

It was very close to the city gate, and as soon as Sheng Yong came out, he heard footsteps behind him.

Then came Ping'an's strange face.

Ping'an's face is relatively large, square, and looks very upright, but because of his big face, he was often ridiculed when he was a child.

In his early years, he fought with Zhu Di outside the Saiwai War, learned a lot from Zhu Di, and knew Zhu Di better.

Ping'an is Zhu Yuanzhang's adopted son, and in terms of seniority, Zhu Gaoxu has to call him uncle.

Ping'an, like Zhu Gaoxu, is also a fierce general, with infinite strength, using a three-stone bow, at this time, only Zhu Gaoxu and Ping'an can use a three-stone bow.

But in this regard, Zhu Gaochu is still slightly better, when Zhu Gaochu was only sixteen years old, he could easily pull up.

Ping An is not good at joking, he is always serious, and rarely communicates with others, which is why Zhu Di doesn't like him.

He followed Sheng Yong's side, the two of them were almost side by side, and after walking a few steps, he said, "What General Sheng just said makes sense, the Marquis of Changxing is old." ”

Ping An is unceremonious, which means that Geng Bingwen is timid and afraid of things.

Sheng Yong didn't talk to him before, probably because it was difficult for Ping'an to communicate, but he didn't expect Ping'an to take the initiative to talk to him.

He turned his head to look at Ping'an, and said slowly: "This is my mistake, I should have told the old general in private, maybe there is still a chance." ”

He intended to show off his talent at that time, because he Sheng Yong was not from a noble background, and Geng Bingwen was the queen of the marquis, so he could lead the whole army.

And he Sheng Yong died, just like Qu Neng, at most he commanded the envoys, and if he wanted to take a step, it was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

This fight against King Yan is a good opportunity, and Sheng Yongjue wants to seize this opportunity to get ahead and get a title for future generations.

But he was afraid that if he said it in private, the credit would be occupied by Geng Bingwen, so he said it in public.

The main reason is that Geng Bingwen has a lesson from the past, most of the credit for guarding Changxing for ten years is Wen Xiangqing, but the world only knows Changxing Hou, who knows Wen Xiangqing?

"The Marquis of Changxing is old." Ping An repeated it again: "Cowardly as a mouse, he just wants to keep it, General Sheng just said it in private, and he is still like this." ”

Sheng Yong saw that Ping'an was unobstructed, and watched left and right a little nervously.

Fortunately, they walked in the forefront, and in front of and behind them, except for their henchmen and cronies, they were all following from a distance, and there were no outsiders.

"His son Geng Zhen has asked several times to send troops from Shanhaiguan to attack Beiping, but he has refused, which shows his timid nature." Ping An is not afraid of anything, anyway, he looks around and sees no one, and he wants to say anything.

Sheng Yong smiled dryly: "The old general is also stable and invincible, but what General Ping said also makes sense, if you want to talk about cavalry, you still have to use General Ping." ”

Ping An suddenly rolled his eyes, he rarely put his heart in his heart, but Sheng Yong was treacherous and slick, saying something flattering to both sides.

This is also the reason why Ping An is reluctant to communicate with the generals, in his eyes, the world, especially these officials and generals, are denigrated as such people.

When they speak to others, they hide and are cautious, for fear of saying something wrong, offending others, or being caught by the other party.

Ping An hated the hypocrisy of this kind of officialdom, he finally glanced at Sheng Yong, and said coldly: "You person, it's boring, hum." ”

Go off in a huff.

Sheng Yong smiled bitterly, reached out and touched his forehead, and sighed in his heart, the world is like this, what can I do?
