Wuji County.
The Yan army arrived here.
Since Zhang Bao left, Zhu Di personally led 30,000 cavalry and traveled more than 200 miles and finally arrived here.
Seeing the fatigue of the soldiers of the three armies, Zhu Di had to order a rest and ordered Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng to send scouts to spy on the enemy.
Soon Zhang Yu came to report, looking not very good.
"Your Majesty, according to the scouts' examination of the woodcutter and the Confederate forward, Geng Bingwen is leading the main army to cross the Hutuo River."
"But Geng Bingwen seems to have been prepared for it. The former army immediately built fortifications after landing. If our army launches a surprise attack, I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses!"
Zhu Di's face changed slightly when he heard this. It seemed that he underestimated Geng Bingwen.
"As expected of the founding general of the country!"
"It's a shame that I didn't leave any chance to you!"
"This is going to be a bit troublesome. I guess Zhang Bao and others are in danger!"
Zhu Di sighed for a while, and in a blink of an eye, he surmised that Zhang Bao and others should have exposed the secret.
The reason why Geng Bingwen led the main army across the river was because he had to rush to the aid of the river.
But even when crossing the river, Geng Bingwen was still so cautious. He obviously knew that the Yan army would not attack Hejian City, but wanted to confront him head-on!
Zhang Yu also nodded.
"This Geng Bingwen is like a hedgehog!"
"He built his camp on the north bank and tried to advance gradually."
Monk Daoyan spoke on the side.
"Your Majesty, since there is nothing we can do, why don't we retreat?"
"It is not a wise move to continue to confront the Confederate army head-on!"
retreat?
Give back the hammer!
Zhu Di chuckled.
"You've already arrived, how will you know if you don't fight?"
"Besides, Geng Bingwen probably didn't expect that we would come so quickly!"
"Instruct the officers and soldiers of the three armies to rest on the spot until they launch a surprise attack at night, and give Geng Bingwen a big gift!"
The generals accepted the order with a bang, and their morale was as high as a rainbow!
At the same time, the Confederate army camped.
Geng Bingwen's face looked a little unsightly.
Because the arrival of a person disrupted his plan.
Gu Cheng, the commander-in-chief of the Left Army, was a brave and skilled founding general.
Gu Cheng also brought the decree of the new emperor Zhu Yunwen, urging Geng Bingwen to speed up his march and go straight to Huanglong to capture Yan Ni!
Because of the arrival of this decree, Geng Bingwen had to change his plan.
Originally, he thought of slowing down and using the vanguard army as bait to attract Zhu Di to lead his army to attack.
As a result, this sudden emperor's decree forced him to change his battle plan and ordered the entire army to cross the river and directly engage in a decisive battle with Zhu Di!
Now he still has nearly 100,000 troops in his hands, and King Zhu Di of Yan only has 30,000 to 40,000 troops at most. No matter how he looks at it, there is no possibility of losing.
Geng Bingwen also understood the significance of Gu Cheng's coming at this moment, which was that the new emperor Zhu Yunwen was already dissatisfied with him.
If Geng Bingwen can no longer produce results and send a victory report back to the DPRK, I am afraid that he, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, will be replaced!
Therefore, now that the situation is urgent, Geng Bingwen is too lazy to test Zhu Di anymore.
Under the crushing force of huge troops, Geng Bingwen did not believe that he would lose!
What's more, with the two veterans Guo Ying and Gu Cheng assisting him, he has no reason to lose!
Geng Bingwen told Guo Ying and Gu Cheng his thoughts and directly appointed them as the commanders of the left and right armies respectively.
Guo Ying was a little worried and said in a deep voice: "The Yan army is mainly composed of cavalry. Our army will suffer a lot in a head-on confrontation with them!"
"It doesn't matter, the Yan army only has 30,000 to 40,000 troops." Gu Cheng said with a smile: "As long as the army forms a formation and advances, it is possible to swallow this cavalry!"
Although Gu Cheng has been fighting for many years, most of the main battlefields are in Yunnan and Guizhou, so he doesn't know much about cavalry.
In his memory, only the Mongolian cavalry had outstanding combat power. No matter how powerful the cavalry under King Zhu Di of Yan was, they couldn't really compare one to ten, right?
Geng Bingwen nodded, still relatively confident in his own army.
"In that case, let's follow the plan!"
"Let us take a look at how brave and skilled this King Yan is!"
Beiping Xishan.
Su Yang has been clean for only two days.
Big Fatty came with a convoy.
Several carriages of firearms and hundreds of craftsmen were delivered!
Seeing this situation, even Su Yang was a little dumbfounded.
He couldn't understand how this damn fat man did it!
In just a few days, so many firearms and craftsmen were obtained!
Even if King Yan Zhu Di did it himself, I'm afraid the efficiency wouldn't be as high as him!
How did Su Yang know that although Big Fatty was not King Zhu Di of Yan, he was the Crown Prince of Yan!
Now Zhu Di personally led the troops to fight, and the prince of Yan, Zhu Gaochi, was the number one figure in Peiping.
Zhu Gaochi gave the order, and the entire Yan Palace became busy, and no one dared to raise objections.
Looking at Su Yang who was a little dumbfounded, Zhu Gaochi said proudly: "How about brother-in-law, that should be enough!"
"That's enough!" Su Yang waved his hands repeatedly, "That's enough!"
He was really afraid that this damn fat man would bring thousands of people over to him!
Zhu Gaochi nodded and left after the delivery was completed.
Father has sent back another batch of surrendered troops, and they are still waiting for him to receive them!
Su Yang looked at these firearms and craftsmen and put his hand on his forehead helplessly.
Does this count as shooting oneself in the foot again?
But now that everyone is here, Su Yang can only start to get busy.
First, they arranged accommodation for these craftsmen, and then arranged for them to have a full meal to restore some energy.
Looking at these frightened craftsmen, Su Yang felt that it was necessary to change their thinking.
Although Su Yang can't change the damn household registration system and completely liberate all craftsmen, he can make the craftsmen in front of him live a better life and have some pursuits and ideals in life.
Craftsmen cannot be allowed to live like zombies, otherwise they will be no different from slaves, let alone any innovation and progress.
Only when there is hope for the future can people burst out with enthusiasm for creation, supplemented by exciting incentives. Then even if one of the 1,000 or 10,000 craftsmen creates an epoch-making technological invention, then everything will be worth it. of.
"My name is Su Yang, the person in charge of Xishan."
"From now on, everyone will call me Mr. Su!"
Su Yang spoke in a gentle voice to avoid arousing the resistance of these craftsmen.
"Has everyone just eaten?"
Hearing this, a scrawny old craftsman nodded.
"Young master is kind-hearted. We are all full. We haven't eaten such fragrant white rice in many years!"
Su Yang fell silent immediately after hearing this.
When did eating white rice become an unattainable luxury for ordinary people?
This shitty world really doesn’t leave any way for people to survive!
"Everyone will have enough to eat, and everyone will have enough to eat!"
"As long as you work conscientiously in Xishan from now on, everyone will have enough to eat and live a good life!"
Su Yang spoke categorically, but the craftsmen remained silent.
They have experienced too much suffering and torture and have long since become insensitive.
How credible is the promise made by the young Xishan chief in front of him?
