Yanwang Palace.
Zhu Di was sitting on the main seat.
Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaochi lined up on both sides.
The civil servants and counselors on the left were headed by Jin Zhongdaoyan, as well as Guo Zi, Lu Zhen and others.
On the right side are the generals in the army, including Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng, Zhang Yu and other famous generals.
It has been less than half a month since Prince Yan's Mansion launched an army to suppress the enemy on New Year's Eve. It is time to hold a military meeting to discuss the next battle plan.
Zhang Yu spoke first and told a piece of gratifying news.
"Your Majesty, after we raised our troops, the border army generals responded one after another, and Tongzhou, Jizhou, Zunhua, Miyun and other state capitals took the initiative to surrender!"
Monk Daoyan also followed up with a piece of good news.
"Not long ago, General Tan Yuan led his army to attack Huailai and other places, and captured and killed Yu Ai, Sun Tai and other diehard loyalists of the court. Our Yan army has no worries in the rear!"
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this.
Further behind Huailai is the important town of Xuanfu!
Chief Shi Jinzhong was not to be outdone and said with a smile: "The Wuliangha cavalry have also arrived outside Juyong Pass and are ready to respond at any time and attack Daning!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were fixed on Daning!
Daning not only had one King of Ning, Zhu Quan, but also a Daning Dusi.
The new emperor Zhu Yunwen was also extremely afraid of the powerful Ning King Zhu Quan, so he sent Bu Wan, a die-hard loyalist of the imperial court, to serve as the commander of the Daning Capital Division, and also mobilized famous generals Liu Zhen and Chen Heng to station troops here.
According to the intelligence obtained by the Yan army, Bu Wan was shocked to hear that King Zhu Di of Yan had rebelled and captured Beiping City, so he personally led an army to attack and guard Songting Pass.
Songting Pass is Xifengkou, known as Lulongsai in ancient times. The terrain is dangerous and it is the choke point from Peiping to Daning and Liaodong. It has been a battleground for military strategists of all ages since ancient times!
Historically, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao fought against Wuhuan in western Liaoning, and during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Murong Jun of the former Yan Dynasty entered the Central Plains, all passing through Lulongsai.
In other words, Bu Wan personally led the three armies to guard Xifengkou, which cut off the Yan army's choke point to Daning.
Moreover, after the imperial court learns that King Zhu Di of Yan has launched an army to rebel, he will definitely gather a large army to suppress it. By then, Bu Wan will integrate the 100,000 troops of Daning Dusi and attack directly from Xifengkou to Beiping. Then the Yan army will instantly face the dilemma of being attacked from both sides. !
Therefore, the most urgent thing for the Yan army at the moment is to deal with Bu Wan's army stationed at Songting Pass, and take the opportunity to go to Daning and induce Ning King Zhu Quan to lead his army to join forces!
This is the strategic goal of the Yan army!
But the problem is, how to deal with Bu Wan's army?
Bu Wan, like Song Zhong, are die-hard loyalists of the new emperor Zhu Yunwen!
Moreover, Xifengkou Songting Pass has been a military fortress since ancient times. It has been continuously built in the past dynasties and has become a majestic pass. It is no less impressive than Juyong Pass!
The reason why the Yan army was able to capture Juyong Pass and defeat Song Zhong's army was ultimately due to poor information. It caught Peng Ju, the defender of Juyong Pass, off guard and was able to conquer this great pass!
But the situation in Lulongsai is completely different. Bu Wan has already learned that Zhu Di has captured Peiping, and will not give him any chance at all!
As long as the imperial army arrives and Bu Wan directly sends troops, the Yan army will be destroyed under the attack from both front and rear!
Everyone discussed for a long time, but could not find a solution.
After all, the Songtingguan city is strong and there is a heavy hoard of troops. It is impossible to conquer it in a short time!
Zhu Di also understood this truth. Although he was a little disappointed, he could still understand it.
He could only hand over this task to Monk Dao Yan and Chang Shi Jinzhong, hoping that the two of them would come up with a clever plan to overcome the problem as soon as possible.
But when he saw the troubled look on Monk Daoyan's face, Zhu Di suddenly thought of Su Yang.
"By the way Chi'er, what is Su Yang doing now?"
When Zhu Gaochi heard this, his expression became strange.
"Father, I don't know. Su Yang was supposed to be training the 50,000 surrender troops!"
Originally there were only 30,000 surrendered troops, but after Zhu Di brought Song Zhong's surrendered troops back, he simply sent them directly to Xishan, and the number suddenly increased to 50,000!
These 50,000 surrendered troops are all elite border troops and are also affiliated with the Peking Dusi, so Zhu Di attaches great importance to them. He also sent Zhang Xin, the top officer of the Peiping Dusi, to cooperate with Su Yang and train these 50,000 surrendered troops as soon as possible. come out.
If he could get the help of these 50,000 surrendered troops, Zhu Di thought that even if he lost to the imperial army, he could at least deal with it, rule across the river, and establish himself as emperor!
"So how is Su Yang's training going?"
"This guy seems to be addicted to persuading people to surrender. Today he even came to Prince Yan's Mansion, ready to persuade Chief Zhang Bing to surrender!"
Zhu Di: "???"
ha?
Can this be addictive?
Can you be more normal?
Why are you "not doing your job properly" every day?
When Zhu Di heard the news, he couldn't laugh or cry.
Zhang Bing naturally understands that he is just like Bao Zhao, smelly and hard!
It was basically impossible for Zhang Bing to surrender to him, so Zhu Di didn't hold out much hope.
On the contrary, Guo Zi paid great attention to this matter and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Zhang Bing is quite famous, and he is appointed by the imperial court as the chief envoy to Peiping, and he is a second-grade imperial official!"
"If Mr. Su can really persuade Zhang Bing to surrender and make Zhang Bing surrender to the prince, it will be a great joy for the prince, and the people will be more willing to believe that the prince is seeking peace from heaven, rather than rebelling and usurping power!"
This is the benefit of fame!
At that time, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang launched an army to rebel, and the slogan he raised was "Drive out the Tartars and restore China." Therefore, heroes and talents from all over the world joined him one after another.
Zhu Di's current slogan is "Follow Heaven to pacify the difficulties and stabilize the country." If Zhang Bing, who has a reputation for virtue, chooses to surrender, it will be equivalent to a good start. Not only will it help Zhu Di win over the people, but it will also provide support for the people. Set an example for future talents!
When he thought of this, Zhu Di was also a little tempted.
It's just that he knows Zhang Bing's temperament very well, so he really doesn't have much hope.
However, Su Yang is a banished immortal!
"Let's go and see Mr. Su Yang."
"I hope this kid can create miracles again!"
Everyone looked at each other and smiled, and immediately set off to the cell.
This cell is said to be a cell, but it is actually an ordinary room, except that there are soldiers stationed outside to temporarily imprison people.
After all, Zhang Bing was a talented official with a reputation as a virtuous person. He was also the chief envoy of Peiping in name, so naturally he could not be neglected.
When Zhu Di and others came outside the cell, the soldier immediately wanted to kneel down and salute, but Zhu Di waved his hand to stop him.
The group of people just stood at the door and began to hear the sound of the wall.
In the room, Su Yang was drinking with Zhang Bing.
"Su Xiaoyou, you don't need to persuade me anymore."
"I am deeply favored by the emperor, and I am determined not to surrender to Zhu Di, a traitor!"
When Zhu Di heard this outside the house, his face instantly darkened.
It is not a pleasant thing to hear someone call you a rebel in front of your face!
Su Yang just smiled and asked a question.
"Does Mr. Zhang think that Zhu Di, a rebel, will be a wise king?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Bing was a little surprised, and the expressions of everyone outside the house became even weirder.
Su Yang, you just call your father-in-law by his first name. How dare you call him a rebel?
Zhu Gaochi glanced at Zhu Di and saw that the latter's face turned dark.
"What does Su Xiaoyou mean by this?"
"Oh, you are so confident, can the traitor Zhu Di really succeed in his rebellion?"
Zhang Bing was very puzzled. He didn't understand where Su Yang got his confidence!
Although Peiping fell into Zhu Di's hands, it was just Peiping!
Zhu Di wants to use Beiping to fight against the entire world. This is simply impossible!
What's more, the Yan army only had tens of thousands of troops, but the imperial court had an army of millions!
Su Yang sighed and gave his answer.
"Why is it impossible for one country to fight against the whole world?"
