Daming: From the end of Hongwu

276 Chapter 274 - Teach Zhu Gaoxu Again

Forty miles away from Beiping City, there is a mountain called Gushan.

There is a Baihe River next to Gushan, which is an important branch of the famous Chaobai River in Beiping Prefecture, and it has been flowing quietly for an unknown number of years.

However, the banks of the Baihe River today are extremely lively.

Beside the lonely mountain on the west bank, Zhu Di's five armies camped here, while on the east bank, the vanguard army led by Li Jinglong's subordinate Chen Hui was stationed on the bank to strictly prevent Zhu Di from crossing the bank.

Li Jinglong personally led the army to live in Zhengba Village behind the vanguard army, and arranged a regular echelon lineup of the Nine Battalions, which can be used for support when advancing, and can be reared when retreating, flexible and changeable.

Beside the isolated mountain, outside the tent of the Yan army camp, Zhu Di led Zhen Wu and others stood on the bank of the river, looking at Chen Hui's camp from a distance.

"Look at how Chen Hui's camp is set up so-so. As long as he crosses the river, he doesn't need the fifth army. If only our cavalry army rushes out from behind him, Chen Hui can definitely be killed and defeated." Qiu Fu said with a snort.

Qiu Fu led the cavalry army with the largest number among the five armies, and all the fine cavalry of Duoyan's three guards were also included in it. Because Zhu Gaoxu likes cavalry combat, he often hangs out with Qiu Fu recently.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu heard Qiu Fu's words, and said in a bad mood: "Old Qiu, can you stop talking nonsense, Chen Hui was thrown here by Li Jinglong, isn't it just to prevent us from crossing the river, is it difficult to defeat Chen Hui? Difficult How to cross the river quickly, otherwise, with Li Jinglong behind Chen Hui, always adapting to our movements, if we still use the usual method of landing on the beach, we will be slowly played to death by Li Jinglong and Chen Hui, so in this case, we We must think of a good way, otherwise we will definitely be stared at here and cannot move."

The words fell.

Including Zhu Di, everyone looked at Zhu Gaoxu. Zhu Gaoxu was taken aback, raised his eyebrows and said, "Why are you looking at me? I'm not wrong!"

Looking at the second son who resembled him, Zhu Di felt a little relieved in his heart, and couldn't help but show some love and admiration in his eyes.

Zhen Wu gave Zhu Gaoxu a thumbs up.

Only then did Zhu Gaoxu understand that Zhu Di and the others were all shocked by his performance and remarks just now, and they became proud for a while.

However, Zhu Di couldn't see his son's complacency. After seeing Zhu Gaoxu's beaming eyebrows, Zhu Di's expression of admiration seemed to turn cold, and the reprimand from his mouth naturally blurted out: "Why are you so proud? You have fought for so many years , if you don't even have this bit of growth, you're still a waste to live, it's better to hit your head to death."

Zhu Gaoxu wanted to defend himself, but he was stared at by Zhu Di. The rebellious second child of the Zhu family was startled immediately, as if he was being restrained by species, and became more honest.

When he was a child, he was often taught by Zhu Di. Zhen Wu had seen many times just being chased and beaten by Zhu Di.

Therefore, when Zhu Di glared, Zhu Gaoxu became scared like a conditioned reflex.

Seeing this scene, Zhen Wu shook his head amusedly.

At this moment, Zhu Di had no intention of looking any further, and proudly withdrew his gaze from the other side and said, "Let's go, Chen Hui is nothing to be afraid of, let's go back and discuss how to deal with Li Jinglong's reaction after breaking Chen Hui."

After speaking, Zhu Di planned to turn the horse's head and drive the horse towards the barracks.

But these words confused Zhu Gaoxu, he raised his head in astonishment and said, "Go back now? No, how to cross the river without discussing, how can you break Chen Hui?"

He was really confused, just now he had already mentioned the difficulty of crossing the river, why Zhu Di, like Qiu Fu, thought that Chen Hui was not to be feared.

What do you mean?
Seeing Zhu Gaoxu's appearance, Zhen Wu couldn't help laughing again.

Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng and others who understood Zhu Di's thoughts all shook their heads with smiles at this moment.

After Zhu Gaoxu saw the expressions of Zhen Wu and the others, he still didn't understand that Zhu Di, Zhen Wu and the others had already figured out a way to cross the river by themselves.

Moreover, these people seemed to confirm each other's thoughts with just one look without talking.

But what the hell is going on?

Playing charades has a chicken meaning!

Zhu Di held a whip in his hand, pointed at Zhu Gaoxu, and said angrily, "These mothers have made progress in these years, but there are not many of them." Later, Zhu Di saw that many young generals were also confused like Zhu Gaoxu, I felt a little angry in my heart.

"The fucking generation is not as good as the previous generation."

Zhu Di scolded, and at the same time, he was not interested in explaining to Zhu Gaoxu and the others, so he threw a sentence at Zhen Wu: "Teach these boys for me, everyone will suffer a lot if they don't grow their brains."

"Your Highness, don't be annoyed, Gao Xu and the others are just inexperienced, and it is commendable that they can see Li Jinglong's intentions." Zhen Wu said.

Zhu Di cast a glance at Zhen Wu, and said, "Don't talk too much about them, they are far away from each other. That's enough, just teach them a few words, and hurry back to the camp."

After speaking, Zhu Di didn't delay any longer, and the whip horse galloped towards the camp.

Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng, etc. did not need Zhen Wu to teach, and followed Zhu Di back to the camp. For a while, only Zhen Wu, Zhu Gaoxu and some unknown young generals were left by the river.

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't bear it any longer, and immediately asked, "Brother-in-law, what kind of riddles are you playing?"

"Who is interested in playing riddles with you?"

Zhen Wu glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, then glanced at the young generals who were still present, and explained to them: "You all think about the weather."

weather?

Many people are still confused.

Zhen Wu couldn't help but said angrily: "You are so fucking stupid, can't you see that there will be a snowstorm after noon at the latest? In addition, let me tell you, if you want to lead the army alone in the future, all of you will be in the sky. If the higher-ups work hard, if they only know the right location and the right people, but don’t know the sky, they will definitely not be able to escape the fate of stepping on others in the future.”

Zhu Gaoxu reacted the fastest, he urged his horse to get closer to the Baihe River again, and looked into the river carefully.

The weather is already cold today, and thin ice has already condensed on the river near the shore. If there is another snowstorm today and the temperature drops a little bit, ice will definitely condense on the river bank after one night.

Even if it is not particularly thick, it must be more cautious, and it is enough to ensure that the army crosses the river in an orderly manner.

But why are Zhen Wu and others so sure that there must be a snowstorm?

Seeing that Zhen Wu was walking towards the camp, Zhu Gaoxu quickly chased after him and asked, "Brother-in-law, how did you know that there would be a snowstorm? How can you be sure? Don't rush away, don't you Say, I'm annoyed."

Zhen Wu never kept any secrets from Zhu Gaoxu, originally wanted Zhu Gaoxu to figure it out on his own, but seeing Zhu Gaoxu's appearance, he had no choice but to point to the sky above: "Look at the clouds, it's cloudy and thick, there must be snow."

"That's it?"

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Zhen Wu suspiciously, and said arrogantly: "Even if this is the case, I can't be 100% sure."

Zhen Wu patted his forehead angrily, and sighed: "You, I will go to the streets of Beiping more when I have nothing to do in the future. The common people in winter, who doesn't understand, what is scraped today is the old drawer. Wind' but in this wind, there must be wind and snow. If you don't believe me, just watch it, and after you return to the barracks and observe carefully, you will find the characteristics of this wind. Where is the wind direction?"

Having said that, Zhen Wu paused for a moment, and explained with his unique scientific perspective: "This is also because the cold air from the prairie moves southward, and convective weather occurs after reaching our place, causing the airflow to fluctuate from east to west, and suddenly From left to right, it shows that the wind direction is erratic, coupled with several consecutive days of cooling and dullness, and the clouds have condensed again, so snowfall has become a certainty, and the only thing that is uncertain is sooner or later."

In fact, these are just life experiences in the final analysis. As long as you observe carefully, most people will have early warning.

The difference is just whether you pay attention.

Zhu Di, Zhen Wu, Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng and others are all in command of the army alone, and each of them holds the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers in their hands. Naturally, there was an early warning of weather changes, and today just happened to be blocked by fate. Blocking the river bank, so several people naturally thought of using this sudden change of weather to achieve the purpose of crossing the river.

As for their coming to observe Chen Hui's camp this time, the most fundamental idea is to see whether Chen Hui has made preventive arrangements for sudden changes in the weather and freezing of the river.

The results they saw were obvious, and they didn't know whether Chen Hui was incapable or because of the southerners. They didn't know the hardness of the ice in the north, so they were negligent. Anyway, Chen Hui didn't take precautions against this.

This is also the reason why Zhu Di said that Chen Hui is nothing to be afraid of.

Zhen Wu thought of this, and suddenly thought of what Qiu Fu said at the beginning. He smiled at Zhu Gaoxu and said, "Didn't you say that what Qiu Fu said was nonsense before? In fact, what Qiu Fu said was really not nonsense, but he stood The second level, you, you only see the first level, kid, learn it hard, don’t always rely on your bravery to make your second child bigger.”

After finishing speaking, Zhen Wu burst out laughing, raised his horsewhip and threw it down, no longer caring about Zhu Gaoxu and the others, and quickly walked towards the barracks.

Zhu Gaoxu's entire face darkened immediately.

While he was annoyed by his previous behavior, he also lamented that these old bastards under his father's command really have something fucking.

……

That afternoon, without accident, the wind and snow arrived, and within a short period of time, it became bigger and bigger. After a while, the whole world had already become a layer of white.

Looking at this scene, Zhu Di prayed secretly, hoping that the ice would become stronger at night so that they would be more bold when crossing the river.

And Zhu Gaoxu, who was resting in the same tent with Zhu Di, sighed in his heart when he saw this scene.

Sure enough, everything was in line with what Zhen Wu said.

I really have to learn.

And at the moment the right army camp.

After Zhen Wu and the others finished discussing in Zhu Di's tent in the morning, they each returned to their own tents, and each summoned the generals in their respective armies to convey the battle arrangements.

This time, Chen Hui was not the main target. As Qiu Fu said before, as long as they crossed the river, the cavalry alone could defeat Chen Hui without the need for all five armies to move. So what Zhen Wu and others were worried about was Li Jinglong after the reaction.

At that time, the number of both sides exceeded 10.

The battle line stretched for countless miles, not only how to arrange the left and right wings of the whole army, but Zhen Wu was in charge of the right wing, so he had to carefully and properly arrange his left and right wings.

Layer upon layer, layer upon layer, once a small link goes wrong, it may lead to the collapse of the entire army.

Just as Zhen Wu was thinking carefully about whether there was anything left unscheduled, night slowly fell.

That night, many people in the Yan army did not sleep well, but on the second day, everyone still raised all their energy.

Before dawn, Qiu Fu's cavalry army crossed the river first, followed by other armies.

When Qiu Fu's cavalry troops had all crossed the river, the sky had just dawned. They did not waste time, and after a few words of encouragement from Qiu Fu's whole army, he led the whole army to kill Chen Hui's camp.

This time, thousands of horses were really galloping, and all of them were the elite cavalry of the Yan Army, Duoyan Sanwei and other elite cavalry. The entire cavalry appeared from the right rear of Chen Hui, and then charged straight in.

Not to mention that Chen Hui really did not expect that the river was frozen, and he was caught off guard by the Yan army crossing the river so easily. Even if Chen Hui was prepared, but after Qiu Fu's cavalry charged, he was completely unprepared. Can't stop.

Therefore, it didn't take long for Qiu Fu to kill the vanguard army led by Chen Hui to the bum, and died countless times, and Chen Hui himself was killed and left the army and fled towards the camp where Li Jinglong was.

……

After Li Jinglong learned that the vanguard army was completely defeated, the Yan army had all crossed the river, and pressed towards Li Jinglong's army in formation.

Li Jinglong quickly summoned all the generals to discuss.

In fact, although Li Jinglong seemed to be flustered at this time, he felt a little grateful for the bravery of Yan Jun in his heart.

When the vanguard army is gone, it is gone.

The family is big and the business is big, not bad.

Moreover, he intends to release water in this battle anyway. If the Yan army is not fierce, it will be too easy for others to see his release.

Li Jinglong is like a super academic at the moment, intending to control the score well in this exam, and he also thinks that he has 50 troops in his hand, enough to have this ability, like the hand of God, arrange this battle for him Satisfying result.

That is.

After a small defeat, he let Zhu Di lead his army back to Peiping.

In this way, the defensive strength of Beiping City has been greatly increased. He only needs to pretend to attack twice a year ago, and he can naturally withdraw his troops in order to fight again in the coming year.

At that time, he threw away his position due to a small defeat, and let Zhu Di's nephew and uncle play by themselves, and he will not accompany him.

This design is simply perfect.

Impeccable.

Li Jinglong was very satisfied with his idea. Seeing that all the generals had arrived, he said directly, "Now that the Yan army has completely crossed the river, what should we do?"

"General, even if the vanguard is damaged, it doesn't matter. We have nine battalions in Zhengba Village, and we have nine bases behind us. The camp is solid. Even if we face the Yan army head-on, we have a high chance of winning. Don't be afraid of them."

As soon as the general's words fell, the rest of the generals echoed.

"That's right, let's fight Yan Jun head-on."

"Yes, fight, who is afraid of whom?"

"Yes, the general ordered to arrange it."

……

The generals spoke to each other, full of fighting spirit. Seeing this, Li Jinglong said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's fight, Li An, you arrange the Yan army you found and tell the generals."

Li An stood up, bowed to the generals and saluted, and then began to talk about the news their scouts had found.

What is the formation of the Yan army, how to arrange it, how to advance, the approximate number of soldiers and horses in each army, who will lead the left wing, and who will lead the right wing...

Speaking of this, Li Jinglong suddenly interrupted: "The right wing led by Zhen Wu?"

Li An didn't know why, but he still said seriously: "The general is Zhen Wu."

Everyone here has heard about Zhen Wu.

The eldest son-in-law of Yan Wang Zhu Di, Hong Wu joined the army as the general banner in 22 years. During this ten years, he went out to the fortress with Yan Wang many times and made great military exploits.

After the king of Yan raised his troops to seek rebellion, he was even promoted to the command of the capital privately by the king of Yan. At that time, he was one of the three or five most important people under the king of Yan.

Everyone knows that this kind of general is a hard stubble.

However, at this moment Li Jinglong was thinking a little differently from everyone else.

In fact, he has always had a good impression of Zhen Wu, and this good impression arose when Sapphire was around. At that time, Zhen Wu dared to fight Sapphire with a small body of a thousand households, and it fell into his eyes inexplicably. .

It's just that for so many years, Zhen Wu has been circulating in the Northland, and the two have never met each other.

Li Jinglong thought to himself, since he planned to lose a small defeat, it would be better to give this victory to Zhen Wu, and it would not be in vain that Zhen Wu beat Lan Yu's two brothers, Zhou Chong and Zhou Gao, and expressed his anger on his behalf.

Thinking of this, Li Jinglong looked at one person.

This person is called Wang Wu, who has never liked Li Jinglong, and his ability is even more sloppy. Li Jinglong thought that Wang Wu would be on the right wing to defend against Zhen Wu. Right wing neutral.

If Yan Jun knew that the right wing had opened a gap, they would naturally break out from the right wing together, thinking about supporting Beiping City as soon as possible, and would not entangle him more.

After all, with so many people in his army, Zhu Di still thinks about defeating them all? !

This is also not possible.

On the contrary, Li Jinglong's goal has been achieved.

After careful consideration, Li Jinglong's eyes were fixed, and he said to Wang Wu in a deep voice: "Wang Wu, Zhen Wu is the sharpest spear of the Yan army, but I don't want to fight the Yan army with spears. You are good at defense, so you can defend Zhen Wu." , Hold Zhen Wu, and after we break through the other main forces of the Yan Army, we will encircle Zhen Wu with all our strength, and we will be able to defeat the entire army of the Yan Army, are you willing to take on this important task?"

Wang Wu didn't suspect him, stood up and said in a deep voice, "Wang Wu takes orders."

"it is good."

Li Jinglong gave a big praise, and then began to make detailed arrangements for the other generals of the army. After some arrangements, they were well-organized and not chaotic at all.

After all the arrangements were made, he let the generals go down to prepare to face King Yan.

Li Jinglong looked at the backs of all the generals, and couldn't help feeling proud, but when he caught a glimpse of Wang Wu again inadvertently, the name Zhen Wu suddenly appeared in his mind.

He was thinking, and he didn't know if he would have the chance to sit and drink with Zhen Wu in this life, if he had the chance, he must chat with Zhen Wu in the future, about his dedication today.

Such a scene must be interesting to think about.

……

　Thanks to the "Luck Harvester" for giving Xiaoliu a reward, and I thank the boss on Xiaoliu's behalf.

　　In addition, let me just say a few words, whether Li Jinglong released water or real food, there is no evidence in history that directly proves that he released water on the battlefield, but when we write novels, we write about a possibility, so don't be serious.

　　In fact, when he fought Li Jinglong for the second time, Li Jinglong and Zhu Di fought back and forth. They couldn't tell the winner for several days. The general's flagpole blew off, which is outrageous to say the least.

　　Speaking of this, it is mainly the second fight with Li Jinglong. I don’t plan to go into details. After defeating Li Jinglong, the war will advance rapidly, and there will be some big deviations from the original history. I hope everyone understands. It is also in consideration of the ongoing civil war, and everyone will be tired.

　　It's better to become the Duke of the state earlier and help Yongle Shengshi to go up a few more steps.
