Chapter 28 Chapter 27 has to be reversed!

Emperor Jianwen was very happy for a while after receiving the secret performance of the two, and Zhu Di, a mental patient, was naturally also very happy. He finally had time to prepare his own plan. Zhu Di thought things too simply, and due to an accident, his plan went bankrupt. Zhu Di miscalculated, because Chang Shigecheng betrayed him, he told Emperor Jianwen about Zhu Di pretending to be crazy, and secretly reported that Zhu Di was about to raise his troops.Qi Tai, Minister of the Ministry of War, who had always been hesitant, finally made the right decision: He issued three orders: 1. Immediately ordered the envoys to go to Peiping; 2. Instructed Zhang Bing and Xie Gui to take immediate action to monitor the King of Yan and his relatives , and can take direct action if necessary; 3. Order Zhang Xin, the commander of the Peking Capital, to arrest Zhu Di immediately.

It should be said that this is a good contingency plan, but as we said before, the implementation of the plan is the most important thing. There is no problem with the first and second points of this plan, and the bad thing is the third point. . Zhang Xin could not be said to be Emperor Jianwen's confidant, he was personally appointed by the King of Yan as the commander of the capital, Qi Tai actually entrusted him with such an important task, it is simply child's play!Presumably this nerd has listened to too many storytelling books. In his mind, arresting people means "ambushing five hundred knives and axes behind the tent, in the name of throwing a cup!", completely unaware of the complexity and cruelty of the power struggle .

After Zhang Xin received the task, he hesitated for a long time, still unable to make up his mind. He has a good relationship with King Yan, but after all, he was paid by the court. If he notified King Yan, it would not only violate professional ethics, but also cause From senior state cadres to anti-thieves, once they get on this thief ship, they can't get off. Life and death are tied by a thread, and the thread is in my hands now! At the critical moment, Zhang Xin's mother helped him make a decision. When she heard that King Yan was going to be arrested, she immediately stopped Zhang Xin and said: "You must not do this (arrest King Yan), I often hear people He said that the King of Yan will definitely conquer the world in the future, and a person like him will not die, and it is not something you can catch."

We may feel puzzled, how does this old lady know such a "secret" because she usually does not leave the door and does not enter the other door?Based on the analysis of various situations, the old lady was probably influenced by the rumors spread by the fortune tellers who spread the streets and vegetable markets, and came to such a conclusion. Such an important decision was influenced by such a ridiculous reason and argument and finally made, it is really ridiculous. Feudal superstition kills people. Zhang Xin is a person who made up his mind and acted immediately. He immediately went to Yan Wang's mansion to report the letter, but to his surprise, Yan Wang's mansion did not see any outsiders. What else can I do, but it happens that this Zhang Xin is a very persistent person, determined to overcome all difficulties, and must become a traitor.

He sneaked into the palace after putting on makeup, and then revealed his identity and asked to see King Yan. King Yan had no choice but to see him, but King Yan did not forget his identity as a mental patient. patient.Zhang Xin kowtowed for a long time, but the patient brother didn't say a word. Zhang Xin waited for a long time, but still did not wait for King Yan to speak. It seemed that the patient did not intend to speak. Zhang Xin finally spoke: "Your Highness, don't be like this, I have something important to tell you!" That means you stop pretending to be a grandson, you have something urgent to do!

Unexpectedly, Zhu Di was so stubborn that he continued to pretend to be confused, pretending not to understand Zhang Xin's words. Zhang Xin couldn't bear it anymore (it seems that it is not easy to be a traitor), stood up and said loudly: "Don't pretend, I have an order (arrest warrant) to arrest you, if you want, Don't lie to me any more!" Then, a miracle in the history of medicine happened. Zhu Di, a long-term stroke patient and mental patient, miraculously recovered his health.It is amazing to complete a series of complex movements of getting up, standing, and kneeling in an instant.

Zhu Di saluted Zhang Xin, and said repeatedly: "You saved my whole family!" He immediately called out Dao Yan who had been waiting for a long time, and began to discuss countermeasures. Things have changed since then. Zhang Xin's delay in not seeing any movement should be within Qi Tai's expectation. Judging from the development of the matter, he had already expected this, because just a few days after Zhang Xin went to Yanwang Mansion to report the letter, Zhang Bing and Xie Gui held The imperial edict to arrest the officials of the King of Yan led a large number of troops to surround the Palace of the King of Yan.

It seems that Qi Tai also expected Zhang Xin to be unreliable a long time ago, so he made two preparations. So far, starting from the reduction of the feudal clan, things have developed step by step, and finally reached the point of being out of control. Take off the mask!The moment of final decision has come! Not long after Zhu Di recovered from his illness, he immediately regained his energy, but he did not expect the enemy to come so quickly. At the critical moment, he summoned generals Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng to lead the guards to guard the palace.Due to the sudden incident, the army had no time to assemble, and the number of soldiers outside was far greater than that of the royal guards. Zhu Di was facing one of the biggest challenges in his life. can not go out!

what can we do about it? This is one of the most dangerous situations in Zhu Di's life. There are shouts of beatings and killings outside, surrounded by iron barrels. There is no way, the so-called capture the king first, as long as the leader is dealt with, these soldiers will become a mob.But it's not easy to do this, the other party is coming for you, will they put down their weapons and walk into the palace for them to catch? At the critical moment, Zhu Di suddenly realized that he seemed to have overlooked something! ? What are these people out there doing?This seems to be an obvious problem. Judging from their neat uniforms, fierce facial expressions, and shiny weapons in their hands, it can be judged that they are definitely not here to participate in the party.But the question is, are they really here to catch themselves?

Zhu Di's judgment was not wrong. Zhang Bing and Xie Gui did not receive the order to arrest King Yan. The order they received was to arrest the officials of King Yan, but there was no order to arrest him himself! This is really a secret, and King Yan's courage can also be seen. The so-called guilty conscience, some people who have broken the law will run away when they see a big-brimmed hat on the street, regardless of whether the person is a policeman or an urban management. Just guilty.Zhu Di was able to think calmly after the government came to his door, and he was a thief without guilty conscience, which is really amazing.

So Zhu Di ordered Zhang Bing and Xie Gui to enter the palace. The two were not fools, so they refused to enter.Upon seeing this, Zhu Di made a list of those arrested, and said that these people had been caught and would be handed over to the government.The lead is needed to verify the identity of the prisoner. Now the two of them have to enter if they don't, because the work cannot be completed without entering the palace according to the current situation, and the imperial edict did not say that King Yan should be arrested. After discussing with each other, they decided to enter the palace.Originally, they also brought many guards into the mansion, but they were rejected by the gate guards of the palace because the others were not high enough.It is normal for idlers not to enter the important place of the royal palace, but at an extraordinary moment, it would be too pedantic to stick to the rules.But these two are so pedantic, they actually took the initiative to signal the soldiers to obey the arrangement of the guards, and then the two walked side by side, striding into the gate of hell. Once they entered the palace, they couldn't help them. When they arrived at the lobby, they were surprised to find that the mentally ill Zhu Di was sitting there with a cane, looking weak.He didn't get up when he saw them coming, but was given a seat.This scene is very similar to the scene where the lame underworld boss holds a meeting in today's gangster movies.Zhu Di, the black boss, didn't even look at them. Zhang Bing and Xie Gui's hearts began to beat, but since they had already arrived, it was too late to say anything.Fortunately, the atmosphere was peaceful at the beginning. The host and guest exchanged views on issues of common concern, and the situation showed signs of easing up for a while. Just when the two were secretly rejoicing, a maid served melon slices (presumably watermelon), and Yan Wang Zhu Di suddenly stopped limping and walked towards Zhang and Xie with two slices of melons.The two of them stood up in awe and thanked King Yan.But how did they know that Yan Wang played tricks this time, he seemed to think that throwing cups was too old-fashioned, and he wanted to innovate. The two were about to pick up melons, but Zhu Di refused to give it. King Yan suddenly became the king of Hades. He was full of anger, pointed at the noses of the two and cursed: "Even ordinary people pay attention to brotherhood and clan friendship. As a The emperor's uncle, but still worrying about his own life, if the imperial court treats me like this, there is nothing I can't do in the world!" After speaking, Zhu Di threw melons as a sign, and all the guards in Yanwang's mansion tied up Zhang and Xie. These two usually don't ask for money when they go to restaurants, but they didn't expect to lose their heads after eating a piece of melon. They were caught at the same time. And Ge Cheng.Zhu Di gave an order to kill them all. From this point of view, it was really not easy to eat a piece of melon in those days. Zhu Di threw away the crutches in his hand, looked at the people around with solemn eyes, and shouted: "I am not sick at all, it was the treacherous officials who framed me, and I had to do this, and the matter has come to this point, so I can't blame me! " Before the blood of the slain was wiped off, Zhu Di issued his statement, and the scene fell into a terrible silence. The soldiers knew that a battle was about to take place, and they had to tie their heads to their waistbands and fight desperately.The relatives of King Yan knew that their fate would change, either they would be promoted from princes to royal relatives, or they would be reduced to death row.In any case, changing the status quo, especially the status quo that is not bad, is always difficult to accept. After all, everyone is human and has their own considerations. Things like rebellion are really not worth celebrating, especially before they succeed.Even Zhu Di himself, who speaks righteously, should feel guilty in his heart.But there was one man who was genuinely elated. This person is Dao Yan, and for him, this is the best opportunity.He is sixty-four years old, and he has given everything to wait for this opportunity!In his life, there is no high-spirited youth, nor the pleasure of sensuality, but only the ups and downs of life experience and day after day of hard study under the lonely lamp. He is full of talent and learning, but he has no official career, and he has the world in his heart, but no one knows.I have endured for so many years, if I don't post it now, let alone when! Turn it back, turn it back, with so many people accompanying you, you will not be lonely on the road to Huangquan! If you don't reach bliss, you will go to hell, and this life is not in vain! Zhang Bing and Xie Gui were killed, but their guards were still waiting outside the door. When the soldiers saw that they had gone and never returned, the first question that came to mind was not that they were in any danger, but their own stomach problems. After all, soldiers are also human beings. If you follow you with a knife to fight for your life, you have to take care of the food, but it is obvious that the two big brothers today are not loyal.Naturally, there is delicious food and drink in the palace, but the brothers are left outside to drink the wind.After a long time, it was getting dark, and there was no overtime pay if we waited any longer, so everyone went home, those who were entertaining were entertaining, and dispersed one after another. But there is no impenetrable wall in the world. Soon the news that Zhang and Xie were killed by King Yan spread like wildfire. There are many soldiers, but there is no commanding general. Although individual soldiers are brave, they are quickly defeated. There is no turning back when you open the bow. Now that you have done it, let's do it to the end! Zhu Di immediately issued a second order to seize Beiping! General Zhang Yu led his troops to attack the Nine Gates of Beiping by night.At this time, the soldiers of the Nine Gates couldn't react at all, and they didn't make a fierce resistance. Zhu Di took control of the Nine Gates without much effort. At that time, as long as the gates of the city were controlled, the entire city was basically controlled.The so-called idiom of closing the door and beating the dog is not unreasonable. Emperor Jianwen spent countless thoughts and dispatched countless generals to control Beiping City, which was completely occupied by Yan Wang Zhu Di within three days. The generals and soldiers in the city fled one after another. Even Song Zhong, the Ming general outside the city, heard the news, and immediately slipped away, leading 30,000 troops to retreat to his arms. Zhu Di finally seized Beiping City. This city, once the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, is now in Zhu Di's hands, and he will start his hegemony here! Zhu Di has been preparing for this day for a long time. The soldiers have enough weapons and food, but he still lacks one thing, which is the reason to rebel. Does rebellion need a reason?Need, very much.In the activity of rebellion, reasons may seem insignificant, but in fact they are necessary, if not necessary. This is even more true for Zhu Di. He is a feudal lord, not a poor peasant, and the target of his rebellion is the legally recognized emperor.No matter which way you look at it, you are wrong.So it is really necessary to find a reason, even if you can't deceive others, at least you can deceive yourself. So Zhu Di and Dao Yan began to find their own basis from the vast amount of Ming laws and regulations, which is a bit like today's lawyers in court looking through the legal provisions to find legal loopholes.The hard work paid off, and they finally found a loophole in the legal rules and played a beautiful edge. Zhu Yuanzhang was not completely unaware that his son might rebel against his grandson in the future. He formulated a set of extremely complicated regulations to restrain the vassal kings. Raise troops to serve the king.That is to say, "there are no ministers in the court, and there are villains in the court, the prince will train the soldiers and stand by, and the emperor will secretly order the kings to lead the soldiers to fight for peace." But there is a key point in this regulation, that is, the emperor's secret edict is required.In the eyes of Zhu Di and Daoyan, this problem is not difficult to solve. They gave full play to their black knowledge skills, turned a blind eye to this point, and openly declared that there were treacherous officials in the court, and they wanted to send troops to "Jing Nan". What is even more unbelievable is that they actually wrote this set of fallacies into a memorial, openly presented it to the imperial court, and asked the imperial court to pretend to be filled with righteous indignation. Then excitedly asked the whereabouts of the perpetrator, and said that he must uphold justice for the other party. The proposal and development of the "Jing Nan" theory fully demonstrates that Zhu Di has mastered an important principle in the rules of tactics: Now that everything is ready, you can do whatever you want, but China has been a state of etiquette since ancient times. Even a rebellion requires a ceremony. The leader must speak first, and mainly outline the purpose and great significance of this rebellion. , and introduce the specific implementation methods and issues such as pension settlement funds.Then others made additional speeches, and the soldiers applauded to express their understanding. After that, the meeting was adjourned and the fighting began. Zhu Di's rebellion this time was no exception. One month before killing Zhang and Xie, he had gathered some subordinates to hold an oath ceremony. Of course, it was done in secret.But in that activity, there was an accident, which made Zhu Di have an ominous premonition. It was June 7th, and he called a group of those who had participated in the rebellion to preach the plan of the rebellion and to boost morale.But just when he was talking happily, suddenly there was a strong wind and rain, and the tiles on the house were blown off one after another.Everyone's faces turned ashen. This is really not a good sign. People at that time would not look for reasons from the quality of the house and the weather conditions. They were discussing shameful things, but suddenly it came like this. Could it be that the heavens objected to their rebellion? Zhu Di also panicked, and when he was talking happily, God came to mess with the situation, and when the incident happened suddenly, he was also stunned.At the critical moment, Dao Yan still played a role. He said loudly: "A real dragon flying into the sky will definitely be followed by wind and rain. Now that the tiles are falling to the ground, it is a sign of great auspiciousness!" So after a feudal superstition propaganda, the falling of the tiles became an ironclad proof of God's support for Zhu Di.It seems that God is really an easy-going person, who always acts according to people's wishes. The so-called words of doing justice for heaven are really untrustworthy. The little soldiers are so confusing, they don’t have much culture, they have never seen God or the emperor, they believe whatever their superiors say, but Zhu Di is different, he knows exactly what the so-called emperor is, what God’s will belongs to, Tianxing The world is made up by oneself, used to fool others and comfort oneself.When it really comes to a critical juncture, you can only rely on yourself. He had compared himself with the current emperor more than once, no matter in terms of military or politics, he was far better than that little kid.Moreover, he has absolute confidence in his army. The troops in the capital are pampered and have not been in battle for a long time. Naturally, they are not as good as these tigers and wolves under his command. But after all, the person in the capital is the real emperor, and he is just a feudal lord. If he wants to ascend to the throne, there is still a long way to go, and the danger is unpredictable. Zhu Di's premonition was not wrong. He was about to embark on an extremely difficult road. As a prince, he had to go through the battlefield of gold and iron horses and narrow escapes to win his own world.And the enemies he meets are definitely not just incompetent people like Huang Zicheng, there are many very powerful opponents waiting for him, and he will suffer from these people in the near future. No need to think about it anymore, even if the road ahead is difficult and dangerous, it is better than sitting on the ground and waiting to die! Rise!Zhu Yunqi, give me your throne! Song Zhong was a man with an unlucky name and average military talent. Originally, he was not an important figure in Emperor Jianwen's layout, but things took a turn for the worse, which pushed him to the forefront. All the southern troops near Beiping flocked to his arms, and the situation was in chaos. At the critical moment, Song Zhong showed amazing courage. He accommodated and arranged many soldiers in a short time, and reorganized them.But the panic among the soldiers was beyond his control.In many cases, the best way to calm the panic is anger. In order to restore the combat effectiveness of the soldiers as soon as possible, Song Zhong decided to tell a lie. He may have lied many times in his life, but it turned out that this lie was relatively lame. Song Zhong sent people to spread rumors, saying that all the family members of the soldiers in Beiping were killed by the King of Yan. The soldiers were really excited and prepared to fight to the death. Song Zhong then settled down and prepared to fight the King of Yan. But when King Yan's army really launched an attack, something unexpected happened. The enemy soldiers who took the lead did not rush up to fight, but kept shouting. The shouting content was similar to today's airport train station. The words that were spoken in the mouth, the shouts of father, son, brothers, cousins, and cousins ​​kept coming and going. It turned out that Zhu Di learned of Song Zhong's lie, and he specially arranged for the relatives of these soldiers to take the lead in order to break Song Zhong's morale.This move was very effective, and Song Zhong's soldiers suddenly felt that they had been fooled, so they fled one after another.Song Zhong had no choice but to go into battle himself, but the situation was irreversible.As a result of the battle, Song Zhong's entire army was wiped out, and he himself was captured alive. Zhu Di once wanted to persuade Song Zhong to surrender, but he sternly refused, and was finally killed by Zhu Di.Although Song Zhong's talents are not high, he has the courage to fight decisively. He would rather die than surrender, and he is worthy of the loyal character in his name. The news of the defeat soon spread to the court, and Emperor Jianwen was shocked. He finally understood that what he had been afraid of had finally happened, and now he could only speak with swords. The evil results of Zhu Yuanzhang's killing of heroes finally appeared. When Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen looked around, he was surprised to find that it was difficult for him to find a person with real combat experience to deal with Zhu Di. Only Geng Bingwen was left. Geng Bingwen is Zhu Yuanzhang's fellow villager. He has experienced hundreds of battles and has rich battlefield experience. He is trusted by Zhu Yuanzhang.It is obvious that Zhu Yuanzhang killed countless heroes but left him alone, just for today's change. Zhu Yunqi's consideration was right, the only candidate at that time was Geng Bingwen, but he also made a mistake, he didn't seem to think carefully about a question, why did his grandfather choose to keep Geng Bingwen? During the Hongwu period, there were many famous generals. Although Geng Bingwen was a good general, he was not very outstanding. In that era when there were a lot of famous generals, there were countless generals who were better than him, and there were not a few who were lower-key than him.Zhu Yuanzhang killed so many founding heroes, but left him behind.What is so special about this person? In fact, the secret is hidden in his title. Geng Bingwen was named Marquis of Changxing because he was stationed in Changxing for ten years to resist Zhang Shicheng's attack. Every general has his own strengths and weaknesses. Geng Bingwen's strength is defense.Looking at it together, you have to admire Zhu Yuanzhang's shrewdness. Lan Yu and Wang Bi, who were good at attacking, were killed by him, but Geng Bingwen, who was good at defending, was left behind.And if a foreign enemy invades, Geng Bingwen can come in handy. But the task Zhu Yunqi gave him was to attack, and the target of the attack was Zhu Di, who had been among the famous generals since he was a child, and had a deep understanding of the art of war.His military talent is not inferior to the first-class generals of the Hongwu Dynasty. It just so happens that his strength is offense. Geng Bingwen accepted the mission, and a confrontation between spear and shield is about to begin. Zhu Yunqi knew very well that his uncle Zhu Di was here to fight for his life this time, and he couldn't be careless, so he handed over the command of the 300,000 army to Geng Bingwen, hoping that he would wipe out the rebels in one fell swoop.In order to show that he attached importance to this matter, he personally sent Geng Bingwen to the expedition, that is, in this send-off event, Zhu Yunqi did the most stupid thing in his life. While handing over the army to Geng Bingwen, he said to him earnestly, "Please don't let me be charged with killing my uncle." Although he has done many stupid things in his life, I think this one is the most stupid. This is like taking a knife to fight someone desperately, stop after slashing the target, and then send the other party to the hospital, and continue beating after he is discharged from the hospital.Although Zhu Yunwen learned a lot from Zhu Yuanzhang, he didn't understand one key rule, which is also Zhu Yuanzhang's creed throughout his life. Either don't do it, or do it absolutely. Presumably, Geng Bingwen, who received Zhu Yunqi's order, was also at a loss. Why can't he hurt the opponent's coach in a war?But he still set off against the fog.It will be a dangerous and unpredictable fate to meet him. In August, Geng Bingwen led the army to Zhending. He sent Xu Kai to garrison Hejian, Pan Zhong to garrison Mozhou, and Yang Song to garrison Xiongxian as the vanguard, and then launched an attack after the main force gathered.It can be seen that Geng Bingwen is indeed very experienced. He knows that when fighting deep into the enemy's territory, he should fight steadily. The triangular formation he put up fully reflects his rich combat experience and solid geometry skills. Everything is ready, just waiting for Zhu Di. Zhu Di knew Geng Bingwen better than his nephew. He understood that this veteran is not simple, and he must not underestimate the enemy.So before the battle, he sent Zhang Yu, his number one general, to scout the enemy.However, Zhang Yu gave him an unexpected reply after investigating the enemy's situation. The young Zhang Yu didn't seem to take the old seniors seriously. He told Zhu Di that the enemy's discipline was lax, that Pan Zhong and Yang Song were reckless, and Geng Bingwen was just an old guy. It would be easy to defeat them and open the way to the south. In our experience, speaking wild words before a battle often has no good end, but sometimes, those who speak wild words have sufficient capital. Zhang Yu had this capital, he said this after careful analysis and research, and Zhu Di also agreed with his view, he personally led the troops to Lousang, ready to launch his first wave of attack. The target of Zhu Di's attack was Xiong County where Yang Song was stationed, and he also chose an excellent timing for his attack-the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Zhu Di chose to attack on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival after full consideration. Soldiers are also human beings, and even when fighting, they have to spend holidays. Think about the parents, wives and children at home.But for those soldiers in Xiong County, their thoughts will stop here. Zhu Di's soldiers did not celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. They took advantage of the dark night to sneak up to the top of the city. At this time, the soldiers in the city were all drunk and defenseless. When they suddenly saw these unexpected guests, they couldn't help being shocked. Of course, they also Never mistake these people for Chang'e or Wu Gang.So the coach Yang Song sent people to ask Pan Zhong for help, and at the same time organized the soldiers to rise up to resist. Yang Song knew that his own army was as powerful as horns, and if Pan Zhong could come to help in time, he would be able to repel the enemy. But unfortunately, due to being outnumbered, Yang Song himself and his troops were all killed in battle, and he could not wait until the moment when the reinforcements arrived. Where are the reinforcements? Pan Zhong did receive Yang Song's request for help, and he immediately realized that the battle had begun and the situation was urgent.If Yang Song's Xiongxian County fell, he would be finished, so he personally led the cavalry to attack Xiongxian County. Boost!Yang Song, you must persevere, reinforcements will arrive soon! His speed is indeed not slow, and he soon arrived at a stone bridge named Yueyang Bridge. At this time, Pan Zhong naturally didn't have the heart to care about where it was, but if he had been here before, let's take a closer look. , you will find that there are a lot of aquatic plants at the bottom of the bridge. Just after Pan Zhong and his troops rushed across the bridge, there was a sudden sound of gunfire, and the water plants at the bottom of the bridge disappeared. Countless soldiers emerged and occupied the bridge, cutting off Pan Jun's back road, and a large number of Yan troops appeared on the side of the road and in front of them. , launched a fierce attack on Pan Zhong.Unable to advance or retreat, Pan Zhong was closed and beaten fiercely. In a moment, the entire army was wiped out, and he himself was captured alive.Presumably he hadn't recovered when he was caught. Zhu Di is not a simple-minded person. He has seen through Geng Bingwen's formation and understands that the strength of his division of troops lies in mutual support and mutual care. Whenever something happens in Xiong County, Pan Zhong will definitely come to the rescue and attack from both inside and outside.But Geng Bingwen didn't expect Zhu Di to move so fast. He used blitzkrieg to make a time difference. After solving Yang Song, he actually set up an ambush on the only way for reinforcements.Killing two birds with one stone is really powerful. Zhu Di was successful, but he also understood that the real decisive battle and test were yet to come, and he would face Geng Bingwen himself and his 300,000 army in the near future.That's the real test. Just as Zhu Di was planning his next offensive, a man came to his barracks. This man was Zhang Bao, who was Geng Bingwen's general.This person did not pretend to surrender. He provided Zhu Di with important information, that is, the Ming army is currently in a state of dispersal, and 300,000 troops have not yet arrived. Now only more than 100,000 troops are distributed on the north and south banks of the Hutuo River.If you can break them separately, you will win a big victory. Hearing this news, everyone was very happy. They also believed that they could win the victory by attacking while the opponent's troops were dispersed, so they should advance immediately.However, Zhu Di's reaction was beyond people's expectations. Instead of attacking the scattered Ming army as Zhang Bao said, he arranged for Zhang Bao to return to the camp and tell Geng Bingwen that his army was approaching and let Geng Bingwen get ready. This is another trick that makes people puzzled. Could it be that Zhu Di thinks there are too few enemies? That's right, he just thought the enemies were too few and scattered, and his real plan was to let Geng Bingwen get the news and join forces, and then fight himself decisively!In his opinion, it is not easy to defeat the enemy by dividing his forces into two places, and he may be attacked by the enemy, so it is better to gather them together and deal with them. Judging from this plan, Zhu Di has extremely strong confidence in his commanding ability. In his opinion, Geng Bingwen's army is not terrible. All he needs is a face-to-face decisive battle! As Zhu Di expected, Geng Bingwen put his troops together and waited for Zhu Di's arrival.Regardless of whether Zhang Bao is a spy or not, this is his only choice. For Geng Bingwen, who is already in his sixties, it is really not a pleasant thing to fight at the age of retirement.And when he learned that the formation he had carefully laid out was broken and Yang and Pan were disposed of by Zhu Di like vegetables, he couldn't help but marvel at the military ability of this forty-year-old genius general.He is a person who has seen the world. The figures of Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Li Wenzhong and others have accompanied him for many years. Their overwhelming offensive and unpredictable judgment ability have left a deep impression on him.At that time, I could only do what I could under the light of these people.With the death of these people, he also conceited that there are not many people in the world who can fight and know how to fight. But now, he finally fully realized that he was facing a terrible enemy, an enemy who was very good at fighting and difficult to deal with. His specialty is not attacking, but Zhu Di's army keeps approaching him, he has no choice but to join forces and wait for the opponent's attack.This is really a shame for a general who leads an army of 300,000.Whether it is life or death, there must be a result, Zhu Di, come on! After Zhu Di learned that Geng Bingwen was joining forces, he immediately started to attack, but his so-called decisive battle did not mean leading all his troops to fight the opponent desperately, because he knew that there were many ways to fight decisively. Geng Bingwen finally saw Zhu Di's flag, and he waited for Zhu Di's arrival. The battle of Zhending kicked off, but in this battle, the northern army did not designate a general to be the vanguard, because Zhu Di himself held this glorious position, and of course no one would compete with him. Zhu Di loves war. He was born in the flames of war and seems to have an indissoluble bond with war.When he stepped on the horse, listened to the familiar sound of horns and shouts, and brandished his saber to attack the enemy, he seemed to be able to find the value of his own existence. The sound of shouting and killing is his music, the armor is his clothing, the mountains of corpses and rivers of blood are his pictures, and he belongs to this place. Geng Bingwen waited for a long time. He believed that Zhu Di was watching him from somewhere in the opposite formation, but he waited for a long time, but still did not see Zhu Di playing. What the hell was he up to? Geng Bingwen is destined not to wait for Zhu Di, because Zhu Di did not attack from the front, he did not go to Geng Bingwen's date, let the opponent's pigeons go, but personally led thousands of people around in a circle, and suddenly rushed out from the southwest of the city !This time Geng Bingwen was really caught off guard, the two battalions were breached, and he suffered heavy losses, but he was worthy of his experience and did not panic, so he immediately set out to fight.He believed that his strength was not much inferior to the opponent's, and he could still fight. However, the northern army's reaction was as quick as lightning. As soon as he led his troops into battle, the northern army immediately launched an attack! Under the leadership of Zhang Yu, Tan Yuan, and Zhu Neng, the long-awaited Northern Army launched a fierce attack on Geng Bingwen's Southern Army. military.Under their attack, the southern army was defeated, and Geng Bingwen in the formation got another unfortunate news that the guerrilla Zhu Di had gone around behind him to launch an attack. This is the end. Under two pincer attacks, Geng Bingwen couldn't hold back any longer. He led the troops back to the Hutuohe River, but Zhu Neng, the general of the Northern Army, pursued him closely. Geng Bingwen was not a coward. When he settled down to observe the enemy's situation carefully, he was surprised It was discovered that Zhu Neng, who was chasing his tens of thousands of troops, only brought about 30 people. Dozens of people dare to chase tens of thousands of troops!It's so bullying.Geng Bingwen immediately ordered to stop the retreat and line up again. He wanted to see if these people were really invulnerable. Zhu Neng found that the Southern Army had stopped retreating and lined up to prepare for the battle. He understood that the Southern Army was going to fight desperately for the minimum honor of a soldier.Don't chase after the poor, if you know the current affairs, it seems that you should withdraw. But Zhu Neng is obviously a person who does not want his life, and a person who does not fear his life is not afraid of those who dare to go all out. Not only did he not stop chasing, but he accelerated his speed, leading the remaining dozens of people to rush into the enemy line!Facts have proved that as long as people are not afraid of death, any miracle can be created.Geng Bingwen's southern army was already defeated, but after Zhu Neng made such a charge, it collapsed again.More than 3,000 people abandoned their armor and surrendered. Geng Bingwen no longer had confidence, and he led the remaining soldiers back into Zhending City.Only in the city can he display his strengths. The northern army was victorious, and they continued to attack the city, but Geng Bingwen once again proved that it was no accident that he was selected to survive. I was not afraid of Zhang Shicheng back then, but are you still afraid of you? The northern army attacked for three days in a row, and Geng Bingwen relied on these remnants to hold on to Zhending, making the northern army no progress. If these attackers knew that Geng Bingwen had held the city for the highest time, they would probably faint. But no matter what, Geng Bingwen knew very well that he lost, and he was convinced.He seemed to see the shadow of Li Wenzhong from Zhu Di. Zhu Di, you have won, you have surpassed others and become the best general of this era, but I have been eliminated, I am not your opponent. But is there really no one in this era who can compete with you? No, God is fair. He won’t let you perform alone. Your opponent will eventually appear, although it’s not me.
