Chapter 22: A Million Heroes

Zhu Di's actions were too fast, in the first month, to recover Yanmen Pass, Datong, and Ulzhou; In February, Yunzhou, Daizhou, Tiancheng, Yanghe and ...... were recovered

Almost the entire mountain. West, in the bag.

is so vigorous and resolute, shocking the eyeballs.

Li Jinglong was quite calm, did not move, and watched the whole play; But Zhu Yunwen couldn't sit still, the fourth uncle was so terrible, which made him more and more frightened.

Inside the Imperial Study.

Zhu Yunwen was like an ant on a hot pot, and he jumped up in a hurry, "Mr. Li, how is this good?" ”

Li Qing can do anything, so he has no choice but to appease, "The emperor is calm and don't be impatient, this matter needs to be discussed in the long run." ”

"It can't be delayed any longer." Zhu Yunwen shook his head and said in a deep voice, "I want to send troops!" ”

Qi Tai frowned and said, "Your Majesty, the problem is that Li Jinglong has taken 500,000 troops out, and it will be difficult to quickly mobilize an army!" ”

"What then?"

Zhu Yunwen panicked, "You can't just watch King Yan grow bigger little by little, right?" ”

"The minister has a plan." Huang Zicheng said, "Among the generals, in addition to Geng Bingwen, the Marquis of Changxing, there is also a veteran, whose influence in the army is unparalleled. ”

"Who is it?"

Qi Tai's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly replied: "Wuding Marquis Guo Ying!" ”

Hearing Guo Ying, Li Qing secretly relieved his heart, and the situation was still developing according to expectations.

He knew that after Guo Ying this time, the fourth child would completely reverse the situation and change defense to offense.

Zhu Yunwen's face showed joy, but he immediately remembered something, and couldn't help but be more worried.

"The emperor can rest assured, there is no conclusive evidence for that incident, Guo Ying will not suspect anything, and besides, the emperor is so important, he must be grateful." Qi Tai comforted.

Although Qi Tai didn't say it explicitly, Li Qing guessed it to some extent, and knew that it was mostly about killing Guo Ying's eldest son, Guo Zhen.

It's ridiculous to kill someone's son and make people die.

Li Qing has investigated, Guo Ying's eldest son Guo Zhen was only after the age of thirty-seven, and he is a good old man in this era.

As a result, he was fooled into patrolling the border, and when he left, he was fine, but when he came back, he was gone, and Guo Ying didn't rebel, and he was already very face-saving.

Will it kill you?

As the so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend, Guo Ying and Zhu Di do not have much to do with each other, but he has more reasons to help Zhu Di than Li Jinglong and Geng Bingwen.

Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly, there is no way, he is really no one available, only Guo Ying has the ability to quickly mobilize troops and horses at this stage.

At this time, Xiao Guizi hurriedly came in and presented the letter with both hands, "Your Majesty, King Yan has sent a letter." ”

Several people were shocked, Zhu Yunwen hurriedly snatched it, opened it and looked at it, and soon tore the letter to shreds in anger, and shouted: "Zhu Di, you deceive people too much!" ”

Xiao Zhu called him by his name, and he was not called King Yan anymore, if Zhu Di was not a royal relative, he would have to greet Zhu Di's ancestors for eighteen generations.

"Your Majesty, what did King Yan write?" Fang Xiaoru was curious.

Not only him, Li Qing was also curious.

Zhu Yunwen didn't care about anyone, and walked out directly, "Drive and go to the Marquis of Wuding's mansion." ”

The four of them looked at each other, Fang Xiaoru picked up the shredded paper on the ground and spliced it, and it was a lot of waste, and it was finally reluctantly put together.

Li Qing leaned in and glanced at it, and then he understood why Zhu Yunwen was furious.

The letter was written very politely, but the content was not polite at all, roughly meaning: eldest nephew, you can't win anyway, it's better not to fight, you take care of the south, the fourth uncle helps you manage the north, our uncle and nephew are of the same heart, Balabala......

"Presumptuous ......!" Qi Fang Huang and the three of them were so angry that they blew their beards and glared, "King Yan is presumptuous...... ”

Li Qing pursed his lips secretly, and then drifted away.

……

When spring arrives, the temperature gradually rises, and the fruit trees in the courtyard pull out their buds, and everything is full of life.

Although the national war is urgent, the impact is not too great, especially in Jiangnan, which has not been affected at all, and Jingshi is still prosperous.

After Li Qing went back, he took the three little girls to go shopping for a long time, and bought them a lot of jewelry, rouge gouache and other things that women like.

They were so happy that they came home chattering about who was good-looking.

As usual, Li Qing took a book, leaned back on the recliner, and listened to the noise in his ears, feeling warm.

……

This letter from Zhu Di made Zhu Yunwen completely angry, and even a little crazy.

He ordered Wuding Marquis Guo Ying, mobilized 300,000 soldiers and horses, rushed to Zhending, and at the same time, made Li Jinglong prepare for the attack.

Guo Ying's influence was so powerful that it only took more than a month to mobilize 300,000 soldiers and horses and march towards Zhending.

When Zhu Di heard the news, he immediately gave up Zhending and gave Guo Yingtian land, he didn't want to keep it, and he couldn't keep it.

Although these days, he has continued to grow his team, and the soldiers and horses in his hands are only 200,000, this is still announced to the public, in fact, there are only 150,000.

If you really want to play with your life, even if Li Jinglong continues to hold his troops still, he will be able to fight enough.

Zhu Yunwen really gambled on the bottom of the box this time, for fear that Zhu Di would not die, so he simply stopped pretending and unilaterally erased Zhu Di from the clan genealogy.

Even the archway is gone, and I don't care about the notoriety of killing my uncle.

Not only that, he was afraid that there would be another accident, so he issued a holy decree to let Xu Huizu gather tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

Unfortunately, Xu Huizu was seriously ill, so Xu Zengshou went out on behalf of his brother.

At the beginning of April, Guo Ying arrived in calm.

When Zhu Yunwen got the news, he immediately ordered people to hurry up 800 miles to let Guo Ying attack, and at the same time, he notified Li Jinglong to launch a general attack on Beiping.

The two armies, each with 300,000, plus Xu Zengshou of the queen of the palace, a total of 650,000 troops.

No., millions!

This time, Zhu Yunwen wants to make Zhu Di go up in smoke!

On the other side, Zhu Di, who received the news, couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

There is not much difference between one million and six hundred and fifty thousand, because he can't beat them, and the imperial court has sent a large number of civilian officials to supervise the army, which is even more difficult.

He understood that the reason why the generals would secretly help him was because they couldn't get used to seeing Wenchen domineering, and they didn't really have the same heart as him Zhu Di, let alone help him rebel directly.

Once there is no chance to release the water, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be real.

Thinking of the 650,000 soldiers coming to the city, his scalp was numb.

After thinking about it, Zhu decided to start the old Chinese tradition.

If you don't make a decision, let's hold a meeting!

Yanwang Mansion, guest hall.

Zhu Di, Xu Miaoyun, Zhu Gaochi is a family of five, Dao Yan, Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng, Qiu Fu...... Gathered here.

These are all people that Zhu Di can completely trust.

This time the situation was more serious than before, and even Zhu Neng, who had the courage to splash the sky, was silent.

In the hall, the silence was terrible, and after a long time, Zhu Gaochi broke the silence: "Father, the child feels that he can't defend this time, he must fight out, and the 650,000 soldiers are coming to the city, and they can't hold it at all;

Moreover, Beiping City is too small, and our army can't be used. ”

"What the son of the world said is very reasonable." Dao Yan took over the words and comforted everyone, "Where the blessings and misfortunes are relied upon, where the blessings and misfortunes are lurking; As long as we can survive this catastrophe, the road ahead will be smoother. ”

Zhu Di frowned, although he knew that at this time, he shouldn't say frustrating words, but when he thought of the 650,000 army, he still couldn't lift his energy.

I had to say: "The decisive battle is inevitable, everyone is ready, rest for a day, and send troops tomorrow." ”

Everyone said yes, and everyone understood that this time, it was time to move seriously.

……

Li Jinglong led an army of 300,000 to reach the Baigou River first, but he did not continue to advance, but stationed in place, waiting for the arrival of the northern army.

The fiasco last time made Zhu Yunwen suspicious of him, so in addition to supervising the army, he also changed several generals.

Li Jinglong, who was originally unable to command his fingers, was even more powerless, and he couldn't control the 300,000-strong army in a head-on decisive battle.

What's more, there is Guo Ying in the back, and Xu Zengshou in the back.

Helping Zhu Di is a tacit matter for several generals, but there are only a few people, in fact, the generals in the army only have some vague guesses, but they don't know the details.

In addition, a large number of civil servants came to supervise the army, and it was impossible to fake a fight.

In late April, Guo Ying also arrived on the battlefield and joined forces with Li Jinglong.

150,000 to 600,000, no matter how confident Zhu Di is, he can't say that the advantage is in me.

On the 24th, Zhu Di arrived at Sujiaqiao and met the vanguard of the Southern Army.

The vanguard officer was safe, and the governor Qu Neng led a large army to attack the northern army.

The southern army waited for work, and while Zhu Di's army had not yet had time to prepare, they killed the generals in one go, and in an instant, the northern army was in chaos.

Qu Neng's second son pulled Lao Tzu, who wanted to charge with Ping'an, and said in a low voice: "Father, didn't you say ...... before"

"Oh, at this time and at that time, King Yan is gone, and there is no way to protect it." Qu Neng roared urgently, "Follow your father to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions." ”

Let's go and kill the Northern Army.

The vanguard of the southern army was far inferior in number to the northern army, but they took the lead and spared no hand, and the vanguard officer Ping'an was unmatched.

Before the formation of the Northern Army was formed, it was rushed to pieces.

This made the morale of the Northern Army, which has always won more with less, suddenly plummeted, and when you think about the fact that there are still five or six hundred thousand troops in the imperial court, it is even more unstable.

Zhu Di scolded his mother angrily, but he had no choice, the top priority was to pack up the army first and preserve his strength.

The Northern Army fought and retreated, but Ping An insisted on biting it, and the posture of the desperate Saburo even had a fight with Chang Yuchun back then.

Zhu Di was as safe as a dog skin plaster, and he was so angry that he was like thunder, and he was about to pull Duoyan Sanwei and fight with him.

"Your Highness, calm down!" Dao Yan persuaded, "We can't fall in love with war, the army's spirit is already unstable, and there are hundreds of thousands of troops behind us, so don't fall for the trick of peace." ”

"Ahh......h Zhu Di beat his chest and shouted: "Peace, Lao Tzu can't spare you." ”

The first battle in which the two sides met ended with a great victory for the southern army and a defeat for the northern army.

Fortunately, Ping An did not go up, and when he saw that it was too far away from the main army, he led the team to retreat.

In the evening, when the army was stationed, Zhu Di gradually calmed down and began to think about war strategies.

Li Jinglong and Guo Ying each led an army of 300,000, which was not easy to fight, but Zhu Di had to choose one as an opponent.

After a short period of thought, Zhu Di still decided to attack Li Jinglong.

So he sent Qiu Fu to enter the palace Li Jinglong's army, and then asked Zhu Neng and Zhang Yu to lead 10,000 cavalry each to attack the weak points of Li Jinglong's left and right flanks from the flanks.

He handed over the infantry to Zhu Gaoxu, and he himself led nearly 50,000 elite cavalry, using the mobility of the cavalry to fight guerrilla warfare with Li Jinglong.

Zhu Di's strategy seems to be quite good, and in fact it is so, but he ignored one point after all.

That's Guo Ying.

Guo Ying is very difficult to do, he is really difficult to do, and scolded in his heart: "Fourth, you are sending some soldiers, you are like this, how can Lao Tzu release water with you?" ”

In fact, the fourth child fell into a big misunderstanding, that is, the difference between Guo Ying and Li Jinglong.

Li Jinglong's fight is far inferior to Guo Ying's, but if he really wants to fight, Guo Ying is much easier to fight than Li Jinglong.

Due to the change of supervisors and generals, Li Jinglong can no longer release water, and Guo Ying's 300,000 army, he can completely control it.

Although Qi Tai sent the squire of the military department, the chief and others to be the supervising army, Guo Ying was no one, he and the military department did not share the sky, and several supervising soldiers died of 'illness' before they could reach the real decision.

It can be said that of the 300,000 people in his hands, he Guo Ying asked him to go east, and no one will go west.

As the only remaining founding general, Taizu's eldest brother, and Taizu's sons and daughters, Guo Ying's influence in the army is simply a lightning rod on Mount Everest.

It's a pity that Zhu Di fell into a visual blind spot, but he didn't expect this.
