It took about two years for Zhu Di and Zhu Song to fight from Beiping to Jinan, but now the two of them are blocked by a city in Jinan, and it will take less than half a month to replace the previous city, but now nearly half a year has passed.

God is pitiful, Zhu Di has never fought such an aggrieved battle, this Tie Xuan belongs to Wang Ba, so good at defending the city, this person is just born at the wrong time, otherwise, in terms of defense, he can break his wrists with Geng Bingwen, Marquis of Changxing.

Zhu Di tried to surround all the surroundings of Jinan City, and also tried to storm the north gate of Jinan with all his troops, but no matter what he did, the soldiers in Jinan City could hold on.

What Zhu Di didn't know was that in fact, the south of Jinan City was not always impregnable, and Tie Xuan understood that the most important thing in the first city battle was to keep his heart.

Therefore, as long as Tie Xuan has time, he will go down to the military camp to visit the soldiers, Tie Xuan, Sheng Yong and Gao Wei eat and live with the soldiers, if there is no food in the city, there is nothing to eat, the three of them will take the lead in finding out all the things that can be eaten in the city, leaves, bark, and birds flying in the sky, and mice crawling in the ground.

That's it, Tie Xuan and the soldiers insisted on it for two months, and after two months, the soldiers and horses and grain and grass equipment of the imperial court finally arrived, Zhu Di was afraid that his own soldiers who attacked the south gate of Jinan would be attacked from both sides and annihilated, so he withdrew all the soldiers and came back to concentrate on attacking the north city gate.

Now it's amazing, when Jinan City didn't eat, it could last so long, and now the grain, grass, ordnance, and soldiers and horses have been replenished, under the leadership of Tie Xuan, Jinan City has been erected again, and there is not much artillery and gunpowder left in Zhu Di's hands.

Although Tie Xuan repaired the city wall every night, and Zhu Di also sent people to interfere, but he couldn't stand the crossbowmen on the other side, and they shot together on both sides, so it was a big deal that you died and I died, there was no way, I could only watch the southern army repair the city wall while shooting arrows, and by the next morning, although the city wall was not intact, it was much better than the day before.

Even Zhu Di fell for Tie Xuan's trick again, and a month after the arrival of the imperial court's grain and grass, Tie Xuan secretly sent someone out from the south gate to send a letter to the imperial court, which was intercepted by Zhu Di, who said that there was a plague in Jinan City, and begged the imperial court to send troops quickly.

After receiving this news, Zhu Di stopped attacking the city, he wanted to let the plague completely break out in Jinan City, and then in the next few days, he saw Jinan City keep moving corpses out, but when Zhu Di was about to rush in while they were moving corpses out and opening the city gate, he was tricked.

Zhu Di had just rushed to the gate of the city, and the corpses that had died suddenly came to life, and they were still carrying bottles filled with oil, and the outside of the bottles was blocked with cotton and cloth, revealing a long fuse, which was lit and thrown towards Zhu Di's men and horses.

When the bottle shattered, the flame on the cotton and cloth ignited the oil inside, and as if by magic, a multitude of soldiers burst out, each of whom had such a fuel canister in his hand, and some of them simply carried bows and arrows, and the bows and arrows were lit on fire.

Zhu Di remembered that day a sea of fire, he escaped under the protection of the soldiers, this time the damage was heavy, Zhu Di led the five thousand elite cavalry was almost wiped out on the spot, the remaining half was also seriously injured, and because the burn treatment was not timely, the wound began to fester, and a lot of people died, and in the end, there were less than 1,000 people left.

This can be said to have hurt Zhu Di's vitality for many years, these 5,000 elite horses can be said to be a family-like existence for Zhu Di, they are all soldiers who have been with him on the grassland for many years, and now the most elite 5,000 under his hands have almost been served by others, how can Zhu Di not be angry?

But this blow was also huge for Zhu Di, Zhu Di seemed to have lost his spirit by this battle, and fell on the bed all of a sudden, giving up on himself for many days.

If it weren't for Princess Yan and Yao Guangxiao who came here from Beiping and took turns to educate King Yan, I am afraid that King Yan would still be immersed in the shadow of being defeated.

After Zhu Song knew that King Yan had failed, his first reaction was that Zhu Song was happy, because just like Zhu Song said, sometimes winning too much is not a good thing, winning all the time, the next failure may be a heart-wrenching defeat, this is not five thousand elite cavalry almost all wiped out, such a defeat is tragic enough.

Zhu Song also felt that this was the time for him to play, and at this time he should tell him that in fact, we could find another way to get close to Jingshi, such as bypassing.

After making up his mind, Zhu Song originally planned to talk to Zhu Di immediately, but when he was about to go to Zhu Di's camp, he was suddenly blocked by Zhang Tiezhu.

Zhu Di understood why Zhang Tiezhu stopped him, now it is the boundary of Shandong, this is Zhang Tiezhu's hometown, his brother and mother were killed, and he has always wanted to avenge the two of them.

Zhu Song didn't forget, nor did he not want Zhang Tiezhu to take revenge, but now the whole Shandong is not in the hands of himself and Zhu Di, if Jinan is captured, then this Shandong will naturally fall into the hands of Zhu Di and Zhu Song, not to mention that Zhang Tiezhu brought more than 100 people home to take revenge, even if he brought all the troops over, it was not impossible.

But Zhu Song inquired, Zhang Tiezhu's hometown is in Wei County, Shandong, that place, is still south of Jinan, if Zhang Tiezhu returns home with 100 people, there is a great possibility that he may not be able to come back this time.

"This king knows that you are in a hurry to go back to avenge your brother and mother, but now Wei County is not in our hands, what if you are caught by the imperial court?"

"Since this king has promised you what he has promised, he will definitely do it! The city of Jinan will be captured in a few days, and this king promises you! ”

Zhang Tiezhu lowered his head and didn't say a word, but he didn't want to let Lu Zhu Song know that this kid's donkey temper came up again.

Just when Zhu Song was about to say a few more words of persuasion, suddenly Zhu Song thought that there was no need to wait until Jinan City was captured, and then let Zhang Tiezhu go to the enemy to take revenge, and now it was okay.

Because now he is preparing to let Zhu Di lead the army to bypass Jinan City, with Zhu Di's ability, let the surrounding officials turn a blind eye, which is a very simple matter.

Not all officials in the world are as loyal to the court as Tie Xuan, Sheng Yong and Gao Wei, most of the officials will listen to whoever gives them food, and whoever doesn't kill them will listen to whomever they want.
