"Mr. Gu, so idle? The prince is looking for you! ”

"Ouch, Mr. Gu is here? I Zhu Neng is a rough person, and I can't say good things, but how can Mr. Gu only dial the grenade to Zhang Yu's house, but he can't even look at my Zhu Neng's middle guard? My guards are also going to..."

"Shut up, it took two whole days to beat Juyongguan, look at Zhang Yu, the soldiers of Yongping Mansion were beaten down without blood, you Zhu Neng is embarrassed to compare with him?"

"Fuck you, isn't Juyong Pass harder to beat than Yongping Mansion? If it weren't for the lack of thunder, Lao Tzu would have been able to do it in one night..."

"Clean fucking braggart."

The Yanwang Mansion, which was a little deserted before the army, was extremely lively today, Gu Huai, who was dressed in a green shirt, just crossed the threshold, and bumped into the generals who came to the Yanwang Mansion to participate in the military meeting, after such a half a month, whether it was familiar with each other before, or those who met later, they were extremely enthusiastic about Gu Huai, and the sound of "Mr. Gu" resounded at the main gate of the Yanwang Mansion, and I don't know who started to call this title, anyway, Gu Huai has no exact official position now, so he simply called it.

For the enthusiasm of these generals, Gu Huai also guessed the reason behind it, it was nothing more than that after the siege battle, the transfer of grenades came into his hands, this kind of equipment that is very good at attacking the city and blocking cavalry and is easy to carry, which general wants to ask for more.

It's just that seeing that the harmony just now is about to evolve into a brawl between the big and the coarse, Gu Huai hurriedly stepped forward to persuade the fight, and a few generals who fanned the flames and didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement sold Gu Huai a face, which calmed down the chaotic scene in front of King Yan's mansion.

Half a month... It is indeed enough to change a lot of things, half a month ago, these generals didn't know if they would fall to the ground in the next second, but now the battle situation around Beiping is going well, no wonder the atmosphere in Yanwangfu has changed so much.

After all, it is a war, and any etiquette is simple, the chamberlain took Gu Huai and a group of generals to the front of the main hall, and then tied his hands down, and there was no one waiting in the huge main hall, only Zhu Di was left looking at the huge sand table in the center, while whispering something to Dao Yan.

This scene is very harmonious, these two have been friends for many years, and Dao Yan is Zhu Di's master and strategist who rebelled, this kind of relationship between teachers and friends, Gu Huai can't get in.

The footsteps made Zhu Di and Dao Yan stop discussing, seeing the joy on the faces of the generals, as well as the care of crossing the threshold, a series of achievements in the past few days have crossed in front of them, plus the three sons have finally returned to Beiping safely, Zhu Di's eyes also have some joy.

It's just that this joy was quickly suppressed: "Beiping has been defeated, and the land of Youyan is half in the palace, are you happy?" ”

Loud laughter rang out, and the faces of the generals who were still wearing armor were flushed with excitement, and between the hammers and pats on the shoulders, there was a sound of armor.

Zhu Di restrained his smile: "To be honest, I'm also happy, the army is so smooth, if it weren't for fewer losses, I feel that I can take advantage of the situation to fight a dozen Datong Xuanfu Liaodong now." ”

"But rejoicing too soon... Sooner or later, I'm going to cry," Zhu Di looked at the sand table again, "Gu Huai, you come along." ”

"Yes," Gu Huai leaned over slightly, "There is news from Jinling. ”

The generals' breathing was a little heavier.

Gu Huai's gaze swept over their faces one by one: "The army of the imperial court to quell the rebellion has already left the Heavenly Mansion, and it is Geng Bingwen who leads the troops, and the number of the army is..."

"Three hundred thousand."

The laughter disappeared, and the joy of the generals froze on their faces, as if they had been poured down by a basin of cold water.

"Geng Bingwen? Blocked Chen Youliang for ten years? ”

"Not only that, after the first emperor took Nanjing, his troops were stretched, so he could only shrink his forces to defend Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng, and Geng Bingwen fought more than ten battles to defend the city... Haven't lost a single one. ”

"Three hundred thousand? Can the imperial court really afford such a bloody investment? The garrison of Datong Xuanfu didn't move at all? ”

"It's not going to be a real number, I'm afraid it's a folk husband or something like that... But certainly not less than two hundred thousand. ”

"What about the plan that was made earlier? Xuanfu Datong is still fighting? We're not going to take advantage of the imperial court to transfer troops..."

"There is even worse news," Gu Huai lowered his eyes, "The kings are going to be summoned to Beijing, so Liaodong, Zhending, and Baoding, who are still waiting and watching, will all be pressed together when the time comes." ”

The atmosphere was a little heavier, and Gu Huai's tone was very calm: "That is to say, the plan that was made before to take advantage of the imperial court to transfer troops to encircle and block the imperial court to the south of the Yellow River will all be overturned and restarted, and those vassal king's guards who are still waiting and watching will also be taken by the imperial court to Beiping City." ”

There's no worse news than that... The generals who were still happy before felt the oppression of the imperial court again.

Yes, taking advantage of the surprise to lay ground, the vicinity of Beiping is already safe, but all this is a fantasy - as long as the imperial court is steadily and resolutely mobilized to quell the rebellion, and there are no logistical accidents.

Just one Beiping, if you can't do the previous strategy and blossom in all directions, what will you do to fight the imperial court?

Manpower and material resources, army logistics, and the imperial court are much stronger than Yan Wangfu.

Not to mention the most important people's hearts...

Zhu Di asked Gu Huai to speak, the original intention was to sober up the generals who were immersed in the smooth battle in front of them, but these news were too demoralizing, and the generals were worried, which would also affect the next battle, so Zhu Di directly took over the conversation: "Geng Bingwen is the person, I know best, much better than my nephew, he led the troops to the north, he will never rush forward, and he will definitely fight steadily in Zhending and me, so you don't have to worry that the imperial army will be wrapped up under Beiping City... Geng Bingwen didn't have that guts. ”

This is a very cold joke, no one in the hall can laugh, the troops over there are stronger, the logistics are more sufficient, the morale is stronger, and if you have to take this step-by-step path, isn't there no way for the Yanwang Mansion?

Zhu Di pointed his hand on the sand table: "The 300,000 army, the three major battalions in the capital can't make it up, and the three mansions in Hejian can't make it up, so it must be drawn from everywhere, which gives me time... Geng Bingwen will definitely gather troops in Zhending, and when the time comes, all the soldiers and horses in the south of us will gather near Zhending. ”

Several relieved generals nodded one after another, they had fought with Zhu Di for many years, and Zhu Di would not have the slightest suspicion about the sense of war.

But none of them knew what Zhu Di wanted to do... Only Gu Huai vaguely saw a little prospect.

Zhu Di is too confident, too ruthless, and most importantly, at the moment when he decided to start the army, his gambling nature had reached its peak.

Raising troops is a gamble, in this case, why not bet big?

Zhu Di focused on the really fixed position on the sand table: "Camp and set up a village, encroaching step by step, Beiping must not be able to hold it, so I want to take advantage of his unstable foothold and the army has not yet arrived, and lead the troops south!" ”

In those eyes were the obsession and fanaticism of war, and the madness after giving up everything:

"As long as the 300,000 army is dispersed, how much money does my nephew have to squander? The whole north, I want it all! ”

"Geng Bingwen... I'm coming! ”
