"Because only in this way will Tie Xuan Shengyong and them believe that we have not left, and what others don't know is that we have quietly made another detour from the side, and by the time we appear in Yingtian along the Yangtze River, it will be too late!" Zhu Song said.

Zhu Di jumped up from his chair, and he hurriedly took out a map and spread it on the ground.

"Old twentieth, you are simply the Liu Bowen of this king, this plan is too good, we hide people's eyes and ears, and secretly Chen Cang, by the time they react, we will already be in the Great South."

"But there is only one problem, we don't have a ship, and most of us are northern soldiers, and we are not familiar with the water, let alone the battle on the ship, this is a difficulty!"

Zhu Song pointed to Fengyang Mansion: "Then we will go down to Zhongdu, and go south from Zhongdu, but in the end, we still have to face the Yangtze River moat, as long as we want to land in Yingtianfu, whether it is by land or water, we all need boats, and we need ships to cross the moat." ”

"You wouldn't have thought of this when you were preparing to rebel at the beginning, Yingtian is separated by a Yangtze River, so why don't we talk about Jingjing if we can't cross the Yangtze River?"

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Song, and then said: "It's not that I haven't thought about it, of course I have thought about it, but when it was difficult to enter the Jing Dynasty, I didn't expect that I could get to this day, so I really didn't think too much about how to cross the river." ”

"But I thought about it, Fengyang is the central capital, we can't go here even if we take the land route, Xuzhou is also heavily guarded, but I prefer to face Xuzhou compared to Jinan, but Xuzhou is too close to Jinan, if something happens in Xuzhou, Tie Xuan will know immediately."

Zhu Song looked at the location of Zhu Di's hand on the map and shook his head.

"Don't worry about this, Xuzhou is thousands of miles away from Jinan, if the ships in Xuzhou are not enough, we can go first part of the people, this part of the people are the elite of the elite, after arriving in Yangzhou, these elites immediately began to attack the city in an all-round way, be sure to take Yangzhou, and take Zhen'an Port by the way."

"After taking Zhen'an Port, even if we are half of the success, the follow-up army can catch up quickly, if the follow-up army is blocked, then the elite in front can also be supplied in Yangzhou, and immediately return to the division to rescue after the supply is completed."

"In this way, calculating the time, we will probably arrive at Yingtian at the end of this year or next spring, and that time is exactly the fourth year of Jianwen."

Although Zhu Di didn't understand why Zhu Song wanted to mention a Jianwen for four years, the two discussed and said some details, both of them felt that this method was feasible, as long as they could take Yangzhou, it would mean that they had half a day more.

But now there is still a question, who should be left in Jinan to pretend that Zhu Di and Zhu Song are still there.

"You said that the army we left here must fight harder, but who do you think we should keep? Feng Cheng is stable enough, but unfortunately he has less momentum, he can stay and sit in charge, he can pretend that you are still there, but who will pretend to be the king? Zhang Yu doesn't have the momentum of this king, but Zhu Neng does, but it's a pity that Zhu Neng is too impulsive. ”

Zhu Song laughed.

"Fourth brother, this is not simple, we can leave my father-in-law behind, as for who will pretend to be you, isn't there a ready-made one? Not only can you learn a few essences, but you also look like you. ”

Zhu Di suddenly understood what Zhu Song meant.

"You mean the second child?"

Zhu Song nodded.

"It's Gao Xu, as early as when he came to Kaiyuan to look for me, I had taught him that this kid is a good hand at leading troops to fight, and his combat style is very similar to yours, it can almost be said that he is completely imitating you."

"The most important thing is that don't you often say that the second child looks the most similar to you? I think if this kid wears a fake beard and takes a good look at it, they will definitely not be able to see it from a distance, and as for me, I don't show up very often anyway, and they can't suspect anything. ”

"But even so, you and my brother still don't have enough time, from the day of departure, after we arrived in Yangzhou, there will only be two to three months, to be fast, we must be fast!"

Zhu Di nodded when he heard this.

"I know I'll try my best to arrange it, try to hurry up, you and my brother must eat fatty crabs in Yangzhou in the autumn of this year!"

……

That night, Zhu Song held a secret meeting in the camp, leaving Zhu Neng, Zhu Gaoxu, and Feng Cheng on the Jinan side, and the remaining Zhu Song, Zhang Wu, and Zhang Yu were taken away by King Yan, and after a thousand miles raided Xuzhou, they raided Yangzhou in thousands of miles.

It took three days to do the next, on the first day from the 300,000 troops out of 100,000 horses, the second day out of 50,000 horses, the third day out of 50,000 horses, now there are only 100,000 horses left in the attack on Jinan, and it is not elite, although the follow-up will be made up from Beiping, Dezhou and Liaodong, but raising troops and raising people is not something that can be done overnight.

Just like Zhu Song said, the northern army retreated north, returned to Hejian Province, and then from Hejian Province, went southwest, passing by Shunde Province, which had long been surrendered.

After the Shunde Mansion, the next is the Daimyo Mansion, the Daimyo Mansion is in the south of Jinan Mansion, so it has not yet been included in the territory of King Yan, but the officials of the Daimyo Mansion heard that King Yan led the army to come, and they didn't even resist, and immediately opened the city gate and surrendered.

Just like Zhu Song said, not all the hearts of the people in the world have fallen to the imperial court, from ancient times to the present, the rebellion is so violent, and the king of Yan is the only one, no wonder those officials heard that the king of Yan was coming, so they went out of the city and surrendered.

After taking the Daming Mansion, according to the plan, Zhu Di and Zhu Song left a small number of men and horses in the Daimyo's Mansion to occupy the city, and then led 200,000 troops to quickly set off from the Daming's Mansion and attack Xuzhou for thousands of miles.

In order to attract as little attention as possible along the way, Zhu Song and their banner is a big iron character and Sheng character, everyone in the world knows that Jinan Tiexuan and Sheng Yong are fighting hot, playing the banner of the two of them, people who see it may think that this is Jinan to Yingtian to transport the wounded, or they may think that this is a victory, is escorting the two rebel vassal kings back to Beijing.

So even if someone saw it, some officials didn't think much about it when they learned the news, and no one came out to stop them, they all knew that after this battle, whether it was Tie Xuan or Sheng Yong, or Gao Wei would be on the rise in the future.

In order to reach Xuzhou as soon as possible, Zhu Di and Zhu Song basically only stopped on the official road at midnight, rested for a while and did not even camp, and rested until early in the morning.

It took two days for an army of 200,000 to arrive in Xuzhou from the Daimyo's mansion, thousands of miles away.
