The Yan army's big tent of the Chinese army, the silence has lasted for a long time.

There was a big defeat last night, and the generals present were all on the battlefield, but except for Li Bin, who was unlucky enough to be blocked by Xu Huizu with troops, the others did not see any injuries on their bodies, and even Qiu Fu, the pioneer who forcibly crossed the river with his soldiers, was intact, just looking at the expressions of the generals present, almost no one was glad for this, they were all really gloomy.

In fact, after collecting the troops and returning to the camp this morning, this long-accumulated depressed mood broke out, although there was no trouble among the generals, but Zhu Di and Gu Huai were keenly aware of the change in the atmosphere of the army, which was not a trivial matter, so after counting the battle losses, Zhu Di called the generals into the big tent, ready to engage in the post-war summary and the next pre-war mobilization.

There is no way, marching and fighting is not an outing, the people are not aligned, there is going to be a big problem, and now the atmosphere of the Yan army is something that everyone can feel wrong, and at this moment the generals who are closer to the big tent are looking at each other, and they don't know what they are doing.

Zhu Di cleared his throat: "Last night's battle, I was negligent, but Xu Huizu transported the grain too coincidentally, not the crime of war, if the army is reorganized and fought again, it may not be..."

This is to give an explanation, the coach is not easy to be, and if he wins the battle, he will naturally be looked up to and praised by the generals under him, but if he loses the battle, how can he get by without saying something good? It's just that Zhu Di thought that this time was the same as before, admitting his mistakes, affirming the luck of the other party, and then reiterating the purpose of winning next time, this matter was so confused, but today... The generals clearly did not intend to give him this face.

You must know that they pinned their heads to the waistband of their trousers and followed Zhu Di to rebel, for a long time they have been burdened with the crime of anti-thieves, holding their heads to fight hard, although it is undeniable that it is for their own future, but in the final analysis, except for the original group of people in Yanwangfu, the other generals are not because Zhu Di has brought them a lot of victories, so they slowly gathered over? But as the war progressed, and after nearly four years of martyrdom, even the stupidest generals could see that victory still seemed far away, and it could even be said that it was almost untouchable.

This desperate expedition, there were many generals who opposed it when they were in Texas, because it was too risky, and it was a bit insufficient to describe it as a playful game, but because of Zhu Di's majesty, they didn't dare to stop it, and now they said that they would go straight to the capital, but they didn't even see the suburbs of the capital, and they suffered such a big defeat, how could the anger accumulated in their hearts not erupt?

It is obvious that Zhu Di's confused remarks can't be fooled today, several generals looked at each other, and finally Zhang Xin, who had reported to Zhu Di in Beiping, stood up:

"Lord Wang, the road ahead here has been blocked, the back road has been cut off, it is really a desperate situation, and now it is a big defeat, it is better to... Why don't you find another place to camp? ”

Someone spoke, and the others became bolder, and another general spoke up: "That's it, Lord Wang, I lost last night in a daze, Feng Shui here is really not good, let's go elsewhere to win the chances I'm afraid it's even higher." ”

"Your Highness, why don't you cross the Sui River and set up camp again? As long as you get rid of Xu Huizu behind you, Sheng Yong won't let us handle it at that time? ”

"It's just..."

The voices asking to move the camp came and went, Zhu Di looked at it coldly for a long time, and finally understood what to find another place to fight, and the thoughts of these generals were to persuade him to retreat in disguise.

Speaking of which, this southward raid was agreed upon by him and Gu Huai, in order to prevent the news from leaking, he did not tell the other generals at first, and did not hurriedly pass the military order until the day before departure, and at that time there were many generals who looked wrong, after all, in their opinion, the Yan army still has an advantage in the frontal battlefield, and they really can't use this method of fighting for their lives to go straight to the capital - even if the possibility of winning is getting smaller and smaller? It's better than betting your entire fortune on a battle and the odds of winning seem almost non-existent.

In fact, to tell the truth, Zhu Di also has some ups and downs in his heart, when he was in Texas, he used the marching map to pull out a line that went straight to the capital, it looked so thrilling, I don't know how many old enemies I have to meet along the way, how many car bandits and road blockers, of course Zhu Di knows that this road is not easy to walk, but he didn't expect that it is really blocked in the middle of the road now, and it doesn't matter if it's not easy to fight, it seems that there are still signs that he can't beat it, the so-called direct attack on the capital now looks like a slogan, how fucking outrageous.

But things have come to this point, if the retreating army must be disheartened, how dare he agree with these generals?

Gu Huai, who had been watching coldly, stepped forward and stood beside Zhu Di, with a resolute tone: "The matter has come to this, what's the use of moving camps?" There should be no advance or retreat in this battle! ”

As soon as Gu Huai opened his mouth, the generals' discussions became quieter, you must know that Gu Huai is still qualified to say this, after all, how many things he has done in the past few years are in the eyes of all the generals, and if he is just a weak strategist, of course the big bosses don't have to sell face, but Gu Huai is not only the chief officer of the secret spy department, but also a general who can lead troops to fight, what kind of scholar is he? This one, like them, can pick up a knife and slash people and charge on horseback!

Zhu Di came back to his senses, and his face returned to cold and hard, but he knew that he must not use his identity and prestige to forcibly suppress this voice in the army now, because the people's hearts were scattered, and the ghost knew what would happen next?

But Gu Huai's voice finally gave him some time to think, he thought about it, and had a way that was not a solution.

He did not reprimand the generals who asked to move the camp, nor did he agree with it, but ordered the generals who were willing to stay here to fight with Sheng Yong and Xu Huizu to stand on the right, and those who wanted to move the camp to cross the Sui River and fight elsewhere, that is, retreat in disguise to stand on the left.

Zhu Di started wishful thinking again, he knew that people have a herd mentality, and the generals under his command did not dare to disobey him in public, this kind of group activity similar to secret voting was all for show, he believed that no one dared to stand on the left against him with his gaze, and when everyone stood on the right, this kind of voice generated by a temporary defeat would disappear.

But this time he was wrong, because more than half of the generals did not hesitate to hula and stood on the left, not even being able to see who was leading the way.

Zhu Di was dumbfounded, he couldn't help it now, he wasn't so embarrassed after the defeat of Dongchang at the beginning, it seems that the lone army did make these generals extremely uneasy, he laughed angrily: "I don't care, you can do it yourself!" ”

At this difficult moment when the commander and the general were facing a break, and the enemy army was waiting outside, Zhu Neng, who had been standing in place, spoke.

He walked to the right, expressed his determination to support Zhu Di, and shouted angrily to the generals who stood on the left: "It's already here, why don't you stick to it?" Back then, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was invincible in nine out of ten battles, and didn't he occupy the world in the end? Now that the enemy army is short of food, demoralized, and dragged here by us, as long as they hold on, victory will definitely be in sight, how can they have the idea of retreating? ”

The voice was very loud, as if the camp was shaking a few times, and the generals standing on the left did not speak, not necessarily because they believed Zhu Neng's words and regarded Zhu Di as Liu Bang, but because after Zhang Yu's death, Zhu Neng was already the first general of the Yan Army, although he was a big old man, but he was very popular with the army, and the generals obeyed him.

After making such a fuss, the anger that should be out has also come out, and the words that should have been said have been said, and the resentment of being beaten all the way to this place and then defeated has finally disappeared, and they are all on the thief ship anyway, so be it.

I don't know who took the lead, the generals all stood on the right, the voice of the Yan army was unified again, and this farce finally came to an end.

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Neng with an almost grateful look, Zhu Neng is a rough man on weekdays, he can't do without scolding his mother in three sentences, and he is even more stuffy when he goes to the battlefield, but he is now the highest-ranking and most senior general in the Yan Army, and only by standing up and supporting himself at this difficult time can this kind of turmoil be completely eliminated.

Gu Huai also breathed a sigh of relief on the side, Zhu Neng can say these words, but he can't say them, the army has its own system, although Gu Huai is also a general, but he can't drink others in terms of seniority, of course, if Zhang Yu is still alive, and he is loyal to Zhu Di, this kind of farce will not happen today.

In the final analysis, this time is too risky, so risky that the generals have no confidence, they used to follow Zhu Di to fight in the north, the difference in strength is so big, they are confident that they can survive, they believe that Zhu Di's command can bring victory, believe that Zhu Di will fight all the way from Beiping to Jinling to become the Ninety-Five Supreme, and then they follow the chicken dog to ascend to heaven, but with this time hundreds of thousands of troops forcibly rushed to the capital under the condition of cutting off the logistics, and were blocked in this dilemma, they finally began to have a doubt, Could it be that Zhu Di also made a wrong judgment, and then these hundreds of thousands of people will die here?

Gu Huai retracted his gaze and asked himself, hadn't he and Zhu Di ever wavered? It seems to be a wonderful idea to bypass Shandong and send Xuzhou to Xuzhou, and then go down to Yangzhou to go straight to Jinling, but Sheng Yong and Xu Huizu did what they should do, and Gu Huai didn't think about it for a second, was it wrong this time? Wouldn't it be better to bring only cavalry? Is it time to wait a little longer? Isn't it this time... Will you lose?

The reality is cruel, but fortunately, this kind of cruelty has been experienced many times, when Geng Bingwen's 300,000 army was stationed in Zhending, when Li Jinglong's 500,000 army besieged Beiping, and when Baigouhe's 600,000 army was overwhelming, the kind of despair and powerlessness could not be described without experiencing it personally.

But Yan Jun still persevered, and persevered until today, until this final decisive battle.

This time, as before, no matter how difficult it is, as long as you persevere, you can win?

Gu Huai sighed faintly.
