The 208th Battle of Jingjing
Han Tingxiao looked at King Yan and didn't speak, Gu Xiaonan knew that Han Tingxiao's heart knot would not open for a while, even if he couldn't achieve his hegemony, he would not willingly help his son who killed his father and enemy, but at this moment, Gu Xiaonan hurriedly said in front of the mountain: "Please rest assured, we and Tingxiao will definitely serve the imperial court."

King Yan saw that Han Tingxiao didn't agree, but when he saw Gu Xiaonan answer like this, he didn't want to pursue it anymore, not to mention that his favorite son Zhu Gaochi interceded for them, so he sighed and said, "Well, since that's the case, then you go down and rest first? ”
After listening to King Yan's arrangement, everyone went down first.
King Yan said to Master Daoyan and Gu Xiaonan: "Today, Cao Jing'an has been removed, his father has been in the sky, and Prince Yunwen is about to inherit the unification, what should this king do next?"
Gu Xiaonan was reluctant to intervene, just quietly waiting for Dao Yan's idea, that Dao Yan had already planned, I saw him squint his eyes, smiled slightly, and said: "Lord Wang! We have been waiting for this opportunity for too long, and this is a good opportunity to seize the throne." ”
King Yan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "What does the master mean?"
Dao Yan said with a smile: "When the emperor was in power, he was afraid that the ministers would usurp power, and stipulated that the vassal king had the right to move the central government to ask for traitorous ministers and raise troops to clear the king's side. We can use this as a reason to mutiny. ”
When King Yan heard this, he smiled and said, "Master, good strategy." So Zhu Di, the king of Yan, took this as a reason, pointing out that Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng were traitorous ministers and must be punished, and called his actions "Jing Difficult", that is, the meaning of Jing Disaster. Therefore, King Yan launched the "Battle of Jingyan". Master Dao Yan accompanied Zhu Gaochi and followed King Yan to launch a mutiny. However, Gu Xiaonan and the others were really unwilling to meddle in the royal affairs, so they quietly left Jinling that night and returned to the Wulin rivers and lakes.
In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, the crown prince Zhu Biao died of illness, and Zhu Yuanzhang made Zhu Yunwen, the second son of the prince, the emperor's grandson. In the eleventh year of Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yuanzhang died, and Zhu Yunwen was the emperor, and he was Emperor Jianwen. When Zhu Yunwen was the emperor's grandson, he was dissatisfied with the vassal kings, and discussed with his companion Huang Zicheng about the countermeasures to reduce the feudal domain. After the throne, he adopted the suggestions of the ministers Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng, and decided to cut the titles of a few weaker princes first, and then attack Zhu Di, the most powerful Yan king, and ordered the princes not to control the civil and military generals. As a result, the contradictions within the imperial family quickly intensified. Emperor Jianwen ordered his generals to monitor Zhu Di and took the opportunity to arrest him. When Zhu Di got the news, he immediately booby-trapped the generals who came to carry out the monitoring and arrest mission, and raised troops to rebel against the central government of the Ming Dynasty in July of the first year of Jianwen.
When Zhu Di first raised his army, the Yan army was only based on a corner of Beiping, and its strength was small and weak, while the imperial court had an overwhelming advantage in all aspects. Therefore, at the beginning of the war, the imperial court planned to use superior forces to attack together and encircle and annihilate the Yan army in Beiping. Zhu Di took an internal line of warfare, and quickly captured Juyongguan, Huailai, and Miyun north of Beiping, and Jizhou, Zunhua, and Yongping prefectures and counties east of Beiping, sweeping away the periphery of Beiping, eliminating worries, and making it easier to calmly deal with the imperial court's guilty divisions. At this time, after Zhu Yuanzhang used Cao Jing'an to kill the heroes and generals, the imperial court had no generals available, and the surviving veteran of Changxing Hou Geng Bingwen, who was close to Zhu Yunwen, was the general, leading an army of 130,000 to fight Yan.
In August of the first year of Jianwen, the division went to the Hutuo River area of Hebei. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, King Yan took advantage of the unpreparedness of the Southern Army, broke through Xiongxian, and exhausted the vanguard of the Southern Army. Then they defeated the main force of the Southern Army on the north bank of the Hutuo River. Emperor Jianwen heard of the defeat of Geng Bingwen's army, and according to Huang Zicheng's recommendation, appointed Li Jinglong, the son of Li Wenzhong, the Duke of Cao Guogong, as the general to replace Geng Bingwen to fight against the Yan army. And that Li Jinglong was originally a gentleman, who never knew how to soldier, "scheming and arrogant, fierce and discouraged".
In September, Li Jinglong went to Dezhou, collected Geng Bingwen's scattered generals, and transferred troops and horses from all walks of life, totaling 500,000, to Hejian and stationed. When Zhu Di, the king of Yan, detected the deployment of Li Jinglong's army, he said with a smile that there were five defeats in the art of war, and if Li committed all of them, his troops would undoubtedly be defeated. The soldiers are not suitable for the frost and snow climate of Beiping, and there is a shortage of grain and grass; Regardless of the risk and easy, go deep and seek profits; Eager to win, rigid and self-serving, but lack of wisdom and trust, benevolence and bravery; The department is a rabble, and there is no unity. In order to lure the southern army into the Lugou Bridge, Zhu Di decided to assist the prince Zhu Gaochi to stay in Beiping, and he personally led the army to rescue Yongping, which was attacked by the Liaodong army, and warned Zhu Gaochi: "Li Jinglong is coming, he should only hold on, not fight." Zhu Di also withdrew the defenders of the Lugou Bridge. Zhu Di's trick really worked, and Li Jinglong heard that Zhu Di led the army to aid Yongping, so he led his division to the city of Beiping in October. When he passed the Lugou Bridge, he couldn't help but rejoice when he saw that there were no guards, and said: "If you don't guard this bridge, I think Zhu Di is powerless." At this time, Zhu Gaochi was strictly deployed in Beiping City, desperately guarding. Li Jinglong's orders were not strict, his command was improper, and he attacked the city several times, but was repulsed. Qu Neng, the governor of the southern army, once led more than 1,000 elite cavalry to enter Zhangyemen, but there was no backup, so he had to stop the attack. And because Li Jinglong was greedy for merit, he wanted Qu Neng to wait for the large army to attack together, and missed the opportunity. The Yan army got a respite because of this, and poured water on the city wall overnight, the weather was cold and frozen, and the next day, the southern army could not climb the city to attack. After Zhu Di rescued Yongping, he led his division straight to Daning. Daning is the feudal domain of Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, and belongs to the Duoyan Zhuwei, most of whom are Mongolian cavalry, brave and good at fighting. After Zhu Di broke through Daning, he took King Ning back to Beiping and merged King Ning's subordinates and the army of Duoyan Sanwei.
Zhu Di, the king of Yan, took these elite soldiers and returned to the outskirts of Beiping in November to attack Li Jinglong's military camp. The Yan army attacked inside and outside, the southern army was defeated, and Li Jinglong took the lead in escaping by night and retreated to Dezhou. The next day, when the soldiers heard that the commander had fled, "they abandoned their rations and ran south in the morning and night." Emperor Jianwen was deceived by his ministers, and instead rewarded Li Jinglong, who had lost the battle. In April of the second year of Jianwen, Li Jinglong, together with Guo Ying, Wu Jie and others, gathered 600,000 soldiers, known as one million, and entered the Baigou River. Zhu Di, the king of Yan, ordered Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng, Chen Heng, Qiu Fu and others to lead more than 100,000 troops to meet the Baigou River. The battle was fierce, and the Yan army suffered a setback for a time. However, the Yugoslav Army's decrees were inconsistent, and it could not take the opportunity to expand the results of the war. The Yan army took advantage of the favorable opportunity to defeat the main general of the southern army, and the southern army was defeated like a mountain. Li Jinglong retreated to Texas again. The Yan army followed and chased to Texas.
In May, Li Jinglong fled from Dezhou to Jinan. Zhu Di led the Yan army to chase after him, and defeated more than 100,000 people led by Li Jinglong in Jinan. Jinan was kept under the stubborn defense of the governor Sheng Yong and the political envoy Tie Xuan of Shandong. (To be continued.) )
