Juzhou City.

The Yan army is approaching the city.

The defenders did not resist and simply abandoned the city.

After all, when Pan Zhong went to support Xiongxian, he took 30,000 troops with him.

Now there are only some old, weak, sick and disabled people left in the city of Juzhou, and they don't even have the courage to fight against the Yan army.

Therefore, Zhu Di successfully entered the city of Juzhou and captured this transportation artery for the Yan army to go south!

Zhu Neng and Zhu Gaoxu also came from Xiongxian, and the army was once again united.

Zhu Di did not relax for a moment, and immediately started a military meeting.

In fact, the battle reached this point, and the combat goal of the Yan army was basically completed.

Next, you only need to send the news of Geng Bingwen's defeat back to Jinling, and then carry out some operations, then Geng Bingwen is finished!

But Zhu Di was not satisfied with this result.

Because whether it is Yang Song or Pan Zhong, they are all too mediocre.

The Yan army conquered two cities overnight, and did not even encounter decent resistance, which made Zhu Di feel very boring.

He is eager to lead troops to Zhending and compete with Guo Ying and Geng Bingwen, the founding generals.

Of course, Zhu Di's proposal was ruthlessly vetoed by Monk Daoyan.

After all, the combat goal has been accomplished, and the next step is to act according to the plan, and there is no need to make any more complications.

What's more, the army is fighting abroad, and it consumes a lot of grain and grass every day, which is not for you to be happy!

Dao Yan and Jin Zhong strongly objected, but Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng and other generals chose to agree.

After all, they also felt that this battle was too easy, and they didn't show their ability at all.

These generals are here for military exploits!

broke two cities in a row overnight, and the military merit was there, but it was too easy to win this battle.

In the end, Zhu Di still made a decision, and the army went straight to Zhending to meet the founding general.

Of course, the original plan remains unchanged, and it will be implemented as it should be.

However, before that, Zhu Di first met with the demoted general Zhang Bao.

This was a frontal battlefield, the first general of the Southern Army to surrender to the Yan army.

Therefore, Zhu Di gave Zhang Bao a very high courtesy, but Zhang Bao was flattered and grateful.

"The last general, Zhang Bao, is willing to die for His Royal Highness King Yan!"

Hearing this, the corners of Zhu Di's mouth curled.

"General Zhang, do you know the distribution of the main army of the imperial court?"

Hearing this, Zhang Bao did not hesitate at all, and directly told the secrets of the Southern Army.

"Big ...... Geng Bingwen stationed the main army on both sides of the Hutuo River, and divided his troops into the three cities of Hejian, Juzhou, and Xiongxian to consume the morale of our army. ”

"As long as the morale of our army plummets, Geng Bingwen will gather a large army to launch a fierce attack, and go straight to Huanglong to kill Beiping!"

Zhu Di nodded after hearing this, he knew this matter in his heart.

To put it bluntly, the three cities of Hejian, Juzhou, and Xiongxian are just Geng Bingwen's vanguard troops.

Now that the three cities have gone, there is only one river city left.

However, Zhu Di was not ready to attack Hejian, first, it was unnecessary, and second, it was really unnecessary.

If the Yan army could take advantage of the situation to defeat Geng Bingwen's main army, then Hejian City would naturally not be attacked, and there was no need for the soldiers to risk their lives to attack the city.

After thinking about it, Zhu Di still felt that it was better to go straight to Zhending.

Of course, before that, I have to give Geng Bingwen a big gift.

"Zhang Bao, are you willing to be the vanguard of this king?"

"The last general is willing to die for His Highness!"

Zhang Bao did not hesitate and immediately knelt down to listen to the order.

"Great goodness!"

"You immediately return to the Southern Army, and hype up the defeat of Juzhou and Xiongxian to shake the hearts of the Southern Army!"

"And you have to tell Geng Bingwen that this prince is leading the main army to prepare to cross the river and go straight to the main force of the Zhending Southern Army!"

Hearing this, Zhang Bao was dumbfounded.

He didn't expect that the first task given to him by Yan Wang Zhu Di was to let him go back to be a fine worker!

But isn't this an opportunity?

If the general is not able to make military achievements, he will not be able to raise his head for the rest of his life.

So Zhang Bao gritted his teeth and thought for a moment, and finally took the order and took over this risky task!

Zhu Di was overjoyed when he saw this, and gently instructed for a long time, and then personally sent Zhang Bao out of the camp.

Leaving with Zhang Bao, there was also an elite Yan army, disguised as a deserter from the defeated army, on the one hand, to ensure Zhang Bao's safety, and on the other hand, to lay a nail for the next big war.

After Zhang Bao left, Zhu Di immediately ordered the army to advance south, and be sure to set up an ambush before Geng Bingwen's main army crossed the river!

Monk Daoyan was a little worried, and rode his horse to Zhu Di.

"Does the prince want to defeat the main force of the Southern Army in one battle?"

"But this is not an easy thing, after all, Geng Bingwen is the founding general, and there are veterans such as Guo Ying to assist him!"

The implication is that you Zhu Di can look down on mediocre generals such as Pan Zhong and Yang Song, but for veterans such as Guo Ying and Geng Bingwen, it is necessary to pay enough attention.

Zhu Di naturally understood this, and explained with a smile: "This king doesn't know the ability of Guo Ying and Geng Bingwen."

"But since we are here, at least we must beat the morale of our Yan army, and we can't be satisfied with swallowing his 30,000 or 40,000 vanguard troops!"

"And our original plan, it is difficult to succeed, after all, Geng Bingwen only lost thirty or forty thousand vanguard troops, and it cannot be regarded as a big defeat in the real sense!"

"Just because of this, Zhu Yunwen may not necessarily change the commander in battle, so we must have a big victory next, at least to defeat Geng Bingwen's main army on the frontal battlefield, so as to cause Zhu Yunwen and his Xiucai court to shake and uneasy, and then replace Geng Bingwen!"

Hearing this, Monk Daoyan smiled and did not continue to speak.

As long as Zhu Di knows it, it will be enough.

At the same time, the camp was really set.

An uneasiness hung over the camp.

Because not long ago, some people were horrified to find that there were many corpses in the upper reaches of the Hutuo River, and all of them were soldiers of the Southern Army!

This means that the Yan army not only went south, but also launched an attack.

However, there has been no news so far, so everyone still doesn't know which city the Yan army attacked first.

Until it was day and night, Zhang Bao, who had fled back, hurriedly brought back a shocking news.

The Yan army even Ke Juzhou and Xiongxian two cities, and the main general Pan Zhong and Yang Song were all killed!

When he learned the news, Geng Bingwen only felt dizzy and almost fainted to the ground!

"Idiot!"

"Yang Song, this goddamn fool mistook me!"

Geng Bingwen looked up to the sky and sighed, letting out a terrible cry of sorrow.

He had already learned from Zhang Bao about the reason why Yan Jun broke the city, and he hated Yang Song even more!

Obviously, Geng Bingwen's plan is superior, the three cities are all heavily garrisoned, the Yan army attacks any side, and the other two cities can quickly rush to the rescue, so as to ensure that the Yan army's morale will not plummet when attacking the city!

But Geng Bingwen never thought that the only mistake would be Yang Song!

This goddamn fool is almost going to kill him!

Guo Ying looked solemn and immediately gave advice.

"Now that the matter has come, Yan Jun will definitely take it in a big way, and there is no need to continue to wait."

"In the opinion of the last general, our army will gather the main force, and all of them will cross the river, resist the enemy with all their might, and block the Yan army from the Zhending Gate!"

Other generals spoke out one after another and approved Guo Ying's proposal.

After all, the Yan army is menacing, and continuing to divide the troops will only bring about its own destruction.

Now it's time to fight head-on with the Yan army and crush it through the numerical advantage!

Geng Bingwen let out a long sigh, and then ordered the whole army to cross the river and resist the enemy with all his might.

If he followed his previous plan, the extermination of Yan Rebellion was just around the corner.

But now, the veteran has lost confidence.

Because, there are too many pig teammates!

After the rest of the people left, Guo Ying looked at Geng Bingwen.

"We can't afford to lose this next battle."

"Otherwise, you, the commander of the three armies, are afraid that you will invite disaster!"

Geng Bingwen smiled bitterly, looking extremely lonely.

"Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven!"

"I, Geng Bingwen, are worthy of my heart and worthy of Daming!"
