This time the wind was still blowing wildly against the southern army, the southern army couldn't open its eyes when it was blown, and the bow and arrow firearms couldn't be fired, Sheng Yong was the same as Li Jinglong that day, stomping his feet and shouting, God won't help me.

With the help of the demon wind, the southern army couldn't resist it at all.

Sheng Yong saw that the situation was not good, he fled, retreated to Texas, the Yan army was in hot pursuit, and the various units of the southern army scattered and fled, throwing away their armor and abandoning their armor, with tens of thousands of dead and wounded, and suffered another heavy defeat.

When Sheng Yong was defeated, Ping An and Wu Jie's soldiers were still on the way.

Ping'an was very careful with his troops, and after discovering that Zhu Gaoxu had pulled out of the camp yesterday morning, he immediately decided to chase after him, but he was afraid that Wu Jie's camp would be attacked (most of Wu Jie's troops were infantry, and the cavalry was in Ping'an's hands).

So he divided his 20,000 cavalry into two, with Ma Pu leading 10,000 cavalry to protect Wu Jie, and he himself led 10,000 cavalry to chase Zhu Gaoxu.

But he set off a few hours later than Zhu Gaoxu, and he didn't dare to march at night, for fear of being raided, and he was cautious on the road, and he was also afraid of being raided, so the speed was much slower than Zhu Gaochu along the way.

After the Ministry of Peace broke Li Yuan's two clever plans, he finally came to Jiahe dozens of miles away, but received the news that Sheng Yong's army had been defeated.

Ping'an immediately turned around, joined forces with Wu Jie, and retreated to Zhending, and the battle of Jiahe ended.

The Battle of Jiahe re-established the advantage of the Yan army, not only severely damaged the southern army, but also recruited tens of thousands of new troops.

On the fourth day of the first month of March, Emperor Jianwen dismissed Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng due to the defeat of Jiahe, and left the capital, but secretly ordered him to recruit troops.

After defeating Sheng Yong, Zhu Di decided to take advantage of the victory to pursue, march to Zhending, and then defeat Wu Jie and Ping'an.

But he must have fought once, and the soldiers and horses last time were more prosperous than this time, and there was still no way, so King Yan decided to lure the enemy into battle.

So the king of Yan came to a routine again, ordered the army to go out to get food, and used fine work to reveal the matter to Wu Jie and others, Wu Jie and Ping'an saw this, and decided to attack the Yan army, Ping'an planned to use cavalry to cut off the Yan army's grain road, and the king of Yan asked Zhu Gaoxu to copy the retreat of the southern army, and the two sides used their own strategies.

On the ninth day of the first month of March, the two sides fought before the Danjia Bridge in Huicheng, Ping An led the army to fight, defeated the Yan soldiers, and caught Xue Liu, this Xue Liu is also cunning, after Ping An caught him, he wanted to cut him on the spot, Xue Liu blurted out directly, I am willing to surrender, I am willing to surrender, my son is in the army of the king of Gaoyang, can be the internal response.

Ping'an believed it to be true, and asked people to tie up Xue Liu first, but did not kill him, but Xue Liu struggled to break free from the rope, grabbed the knife and killed the guards, and rode back to the Yan army formation. In this battle, a large number of Yan troops were wounded by the muskets and crossbows of the Southern Army, and Zhu Di's handsome banner was shot like a hedgehog. However, due to Zhu Yunwen's ban on killing, Zhu Di himself was fine.

The next day, the two sides then fought again in the Hutuo River, this time Ping'an set up a wooden building in the middle of the formation, gathered strong crossbows and bows and arrows to use, when the battle he always had to climb the tower to look, commanded the army to shoot the Yan army with a strong crossbow, the Yan army rushed the most fiercely, shot that part, killed a lot.

Seeing that the southern army has another advantage, strange things are coming again.

A strong wind suddenly blew at the scene, the house was uprooted, the wind was like thunder, and the various departments of King Yan took advantage of the situation to attack, and Ping'an and Wu Jie had to retreat.

But retreated halfway, and was waiting for the opportunity Zhu Gaoxu led the cavalry to rush and kill, heavy losses, and waited for Wu Jie and Ping'an to escape back to Zhending, and found that the 100,000 army lost more than half, and the Yan army only beheaded more than 60,000.

After the war, Zhu Di sent the military flag shot into a hedgehog back to Beiping, and asked the prince Zhu Gaochi to keep it properly to warn future generations.

From the Baigou River, the Jiahe River to the Chengcheng, the Yan army won three times with the help of strong winds, Zhu Di believed that this was the destiny of heaven, not human power, and the confidence of Jingjing was unprecedentedly firm.

The battles of Jiahe and Hongcheng once again caused heavy losses to the southern army, and the various units of the southern army held on to the city, and the battle between the two sides slowed down slightly, and after the Yan army defeated Ping'an, it immediately went south, successively passing through Shunde, Guangping, and Daimyo, and stationed in Daimyo. The counties and counties looked down on the wind.

Zhu Di heard that Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng were demoted, and wrote a peace talk, saying that "the traitorous ministers were driven away and their plans were implemented, and they did not dare to withdraw their troops." Zhu Yunwen discussed with Fang Xiaoru, and Fang Xiaoru said that he could take this opportunity to send returns, delay time, and slack off his military morale; At the same time, Liaodong and other armies were ordered to attack their rear in preparation for a flanking attack.

So (April) Emperor Jianwen ordered Xue Yun, the young secretary of Dali Temple, to meet Zhu Di, pass on the edict and secretly spread relevant news in the army. Xue Yu saw Zhu Di and said, "His Royal Highness will release his armor at dusk." Zhu Di said that even a three-foot child can't be fooled. Xue Yun was speechless.

In May, knowing that the Yan army sent troops to the daimyo and Ping'an and Wu Jie and Sheng Yong divided their troops to cut off the Yan army's food and salary road, Zhu Di was quite worried, and sent the commander Wu Sheng to the imperial court, asking for a truce and replacing Ping'an and others, as a means of delaying the army, Emperor Jianwen was furious and put Wu Sheng in prison, and the peace talks broke down.

In June, in order to take revenge on the Southern Army, Zhu Di also decided to cut off the Southern Army's food and salary, which put the Southern Army of Texas in a difficult situation.

He asked Du to command Li Yuan to lead 6,000 troops, change into the armor of the Southern Army, and go south.

Because Zhu Gaoxu praised Li Yuan for his use of troops in front of him many times, King Yan finally let Li Yuan lead the army alone this time.

But after Li Yuan received the order, he was still a little unhappy.

Because Sheng Yong's army was stationed in Dezhou at that time, the grain and grass of the southern army were all shipped from Zhaoyang Lake near Xu and Pei and transported to Dezhou through the waterway.

Xu and Pei were in Jiangsu (Zhili), crossing the entire Shandong, and Shandong at that time was all under the control of the Southern Army.

After Li Yuan received the order, he first came to thank Zhu Gaoxu, because it was Zhu Gaoxu's many recommendations that King Yan recognized his ability.

However, between words, it is still not happy to go deep behind enemy lines, because if there is a good general of the same level on the opposite side, it is easy to encircle him in Shandong or Jiangsu.

For this kind of important matter, King Yan didn't send any of his henchmen, so he sent Li Yuan, obviously making two plans.

It's a good thing to do well, and if you fail, it's not the henchmen who lose.

Yan Wang's little ninety-nine, Zhu Gaoxu and Li Yuan both saw it.

Before leaving, Li Yuan said: "If the last general can come back alive this time, I want to follow the king of Gaoyang County." ”

Zhu Gaoxu did not hesitate, and nodded heavily: "The general will definitely be able to win, I will wait for you to come back and drink." ”

Li Yuan laughed, and after saying goodbye to Zhu Gaoxu,

He took 6,000 cavalry with him and changed them into the armor of the Southern Army, pretending to be transporting the armor for the Southern Army.

Li Yuan asked each person to put a willow branch on their backs, and entered Shandong from Hebei, crossed the entire Shandong Province, and then passed through Jining and Shahe to Peixian, and the southern army did not notice it.

After arriving in Pei County, Li Yuan sent people to burn thousands of grain boats of the southern army in Zhaoyang Lake, Nanyang Lake, and Dushan Lake, and millions of stones of grain, and the fire continued for several days.

Yuan Yu, the general of the nearby Southern Army, received the news and immediately led 30,000 horsemen to chase and kill.

But Li Yuan set up an ambush with 6,000 volt troops, and after Yuan Yu was defeated, he was satisfied with his troops and left.

Li Yuan became famous in a battle at this time, rushed thousands of miles, and broke 30,000 with 6,000, which instantly shocked the generals of the Yan army.

After coming back, King Yan was full of praise, and only then did he pay attention to Li Yuan.

But at this time, Li Yuan's mind was no longer on King Yan.

That night, Li Yuan chatted privately with Zhu Gaoxu, and Zhu Gaoxu said in a deep voice: "To put it bluntly, the process and results of General Li's march alone are enough to go down in history and be passed down through the ages. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Li Yuan said again and again that he didn't dare, his whole face turned red, King Gaoyang was really good at encouraging people's hearts.

"In ancient times, the overlord of Chu broke the kettle and sank the boat, and Han Xin fought against the water, and became famous all over the world because of the war, and passed down the idiom through the ages."

"According to King Ben, General Li will be able to make an idiom in the future."

"Well, thousands of miles of burning grain, it's good to call this."

"Okay." Wang Zhong listened loudly to the applause.

Li Yuan's face turned even redder, and he looked at Zhu Gaoxu with an excited expression, as if he had met a confidant.

At the beginning of the Jingjing, the imperial court wanted to suppress the rebellion of King Yan in one fell swoop with the momentum of thunder.

The imperial court wanted to delay, in order to continue to mobilize troops, horses, grain and grass from all over the country to gain time, and the Yan King had a small army and a small population, and he could not digest more of the occupied territory in a short time.

During this time, both sides had their own strange plans, Sheng Yong also sent Ping'an and Shanhaiguan soldiers and horses to attack Yongping and Beiping together, and ordered Datong to guard Fang Zhao to attack Baoding.

Zhu Di put out fires everywhere and was tired of Sheng Yong's playing style.

In August, King Yan decided to return to the north.

So far, the battle of King Yan Jingnan has been fought for more than two years, although there are many victories and few losses, but due to the lack of troops, can not consolidate and expand the victory, often give up the new land, can only possess Beiping, Baoding, Yongping three prefectures.

Because Zhu Gaoxu's subordinates were all cavalry, they had already returned to Beiping in early September.

After the three battles of Jiahe, Hongcheng and Zhending, Zhu Gaoxu's headquarters surrendered and expanded by 1,000, and now it has reached 5,000.

After returning to Beiping, he immediately carried out the division and reorganization of the camp.

The hundreds of thousands of troops under the command of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, are divided into five battalions according to the five armies.

In order not to encroach on King Yan, Zhu Gaoxu changed to a simple one, two, three, four, and five battalions.

He led a battalion by himself, Sheng Jian, Song Meng, He Ruhu, Yang Pingzan and other generals were all here, and the more elite in Zhu Gaoxu's battalion, most of the veterans who could ride and shoot were also here, and the sentry cavalry battalion was also here, Li Xian originally had more than 800 cavalry, and after the war, he was added to 1,000, and he also followed here.

Because there are also feudal cavalry in the southern army, and most of them are the old troops of the former Yan King, and after the defeat, the Yan King was directly surrendered.

At the beginning, King Yan sent someone to Beijing to contact the commander of the feudal cavalry Qianhu Tongguan, but he was arrested, and later this Tongguan helped the southern army to fight, and now he is still under the command of the southern army.

In this way, Zhu Gaoxu's own battalion has more than 2,000 people, including more than 1,000 cavalry and more than 1,000 Han troops, which can be regarded as the most elite.

The second battalion is Xu Xiang, Wang You, Yang Yun, Xu An and other generals, more than 1,000 people. Xu Xiang's son Xu An was promoted to deputy Qianhu after fighting a few battles with Zhu Gaoxu, and he was in the same camp as Xu Xiang, and the father and son could fight together in the future. Because Zhu Gaoxu found that many fathers and sons in Daming were in the same camp.

Chen Wen of the third battalion, Zhou Hu, Zhang Jie, Fang Yanping, Zhao Qing and other generals, more than 1,000 people, among which Zhou Hu's subordinates are more elite and often used to charge into battle.

The fourth battalion is Weida, Hong Zheng, Yan Qiang, Sun Sheng and other generals, more than 1,000 people.

Wang Bin, Zheng Xing, Yao Gai, Xue Xun and other generals of the five battalions, more than 1,000 people.
