Longjiang!
The imperial army assembles!
It was a sunny day.
Hundreds of boats competed on the river, flags covered the sky, drums and horns sounded, the Ming army was mighty and majestic, and its military appearance was unprecedented since the founding of the People's Republic of China!
Zhu Yunwen dressed in military uniform and went to Longjiang in person to bid farewell.
Looking at the 500,000 elite troops in front of him, Zhu Yunwen's heart suddenly felt at peace.
Geng Bingwen can’t do it!
Then replace it with Li Jinglong, master of the art of war!
An army of 130,000 cannot do it!
Then send another 500,000 elite troops!
These 500,000 soldiers were the elite divisions of the Ming Dynasty. They had followed Emperor Taizu Gao in his campaigns in the north and south. They were the foundation of the Ming Dynasty!
Zhu Yunwen believed that when the 500,000 troops marched north, they would definitely be able to attack Huanglong and defeat the Yan bandits!
The news of Geng Bingwen's defeat did make him a little panicked, and he really paid attention to the Yan King Zhu Di!
After all, Zhu Di was able to defeat the imperial army of 130,000 troops with only 40,000 to 50,000 troops. It should not be underestimated. He had the strength and foundation to raise an army to rebel!
If he continues to allow Zhu Di to develop, he may really grow into a serious problem for him!
Therefore, Zhu Yunwen did not hesitate, and immediately assembled an elite army of 500,000, and recruited brave and skilled generals such as Qu Neng and Yu Tongyuan as his deputies. He was determined to complete his success in one battle and completely wipe out Zhu Di and his rebels!
On the high platform, Li Jinglong was dressed in iron armor and looked at Zhu Yunwen with high spirits.
Qu Neng, Yu Tongyuan, Chen Hui, Ping An and other tiger generals are all here, but they are all listed behind Li Jinglong.
Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, Fang Xiaoru and other civil servants stood aside honestly, and they could not get a word in today's meeting.
After all, everyone present knew that the protagonists of today's practice meeting were none other than the Grand Marshal of the Army, General Ping Yan, and Duke Cao Li Jinglong!
Zhu Yunwen raised his wine glass knowingly and looked at Li Jinglong.
"My dear, may I know that this bronze knight in my hand was used by Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin when he went on an expedition six hundred years ago!"
"Today, I specially use it to give General Ping Yan wine to practice and strengthen his appearance!"
"Please love me, please drink this wine to your heart's content, and return to the court with a great victory in the future!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
The emperor gave him wine and made his fortune in person. Li Jinglong was really lucky!
You know, even Qi, Huang and Fang have never enjoyed such courtesy, which shows that His Majesty the Emperor attaches great importance to and favors Li Jinglong.
Soon an imperial eunuch came forward, respectfully took the wine baron on a tray, and then cautiously came to Li Jinglong.
Li Jinglong immediately knelt on the ground and took the wine cup respectfully with both hands.
However, he was not in a hurry to drink it, but showed a look of tears of gratitude.
After all, in such a big occasion, you have to say something grand, right?
Li Jinglong has no other skills, but face-saving and persuasiveness are his only two strengths!
I saw General Ping Yan holding the wine prince in both hands and opening his mouth with red eyes.
"The Emperor's divine grace is so great that I, Ding Gan Nao, will wipe out the Yan thieves to repay the divine grace!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jinglong picked up the wine and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing this situation, Zhu Yunwen was overjoyed.
Wasn't the reason why he went to Longjiang to practice it in person just to wait for Li Jinglong's words?
But since you have come, you have to show your kindness and let Li Jinglong wholeheartedly destroy Yan Ni for him!
When he thought of this, Zhu Yunwen immediately stepped forward and helped Li Jinglong up with his own hands.
"General, please wake up quickly!"
After Li Jinglong stood still, another eunuch came forward holding a tray.
When the officials saw what was on the tray, their faces were full of shock.
Even Li Jinglong's eyes widened, and he was suddenly hit by a huge surprise!
Zhu Yunwen looked around, taking in the performance of all the ministers, and then said with a smile: "Does the general recognize this belt?"
Li Jinglong swallowed and looked at Zhu Yunwen in disbelief.
"That's right!"
"This belt is exactly the Great Ancestor's rhinoceros belt. It was used by the Great Ancestor when he paid homage to the general. I want to put it on your waist with my own hands!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Huang Zicheng's eyes were red with jealousy.
This is the real relic of Taizu!
The significance is self-evident!
Li Jinglong was also a little panicked.
"Your Majesty, this...is too precious!"
Li Jinglong knelt on the ground again, not knowing what to say.
This was a relic of Taizu Emperor Gao, and the new emperor was so willing to give it to him directly, and even put it on him with his own hands!
For a moment, Li Jinglong felt extremely stressed and uneasy.
However, Zhu Yunwen smiled again and helped him up, feigning anger and saying: "The great ancestor is wearing this belt, so he is invincible in battle and invincible in every attack!"
"General, you should uphold the legacy of Taizu, wipe out the bandits for me, and capture Yan Ni!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Yunwen ignored Li Jinglong and started to take action.
Li Jinglong's face was stiff. He couldn't refuse or accept. He could only let Zhu Yunwen put the belt around his waist.
At this point, Li Jinglong can only say a few more words.
Otherwise, those ferocious eyes that were red with jealousy would simply eat him alive!
I saw Li Jinglong's eyes filled with tears, and he spoke with a hint of sobs: "Your Majesty, only by defeating Yan Ni can I be worthy of this rhinoceros belt that reaches the sky!"
Hearing this, Zhu Yunwen smiled slightly.
The surprise he prepared for Li Jinglong is not over yet!
Zhu Yunwen looked aside, and the eunuch immediately understood and came over with a tray, with an ax placed on it.
Axes and axes were still used as weapons for combat in the ancient pre-Qin era. However, because they were too bulky, they gradually became a tool of palace etiquette and evolved into a symbol of military power and dominance.
Zhu Yunwen picked up the ax with both hands and looked at Li Jinglong solemnly.
"General!"
"This is the third treasure I have given you, the Emperor's axe!"
"I give you the emperor's axe. If you see this axe, if I come in person, you can act arbitrarily and kill first and then play. No one can disobey!"
"Only such a great general can command an army of 500,000, with exclusive power to conquer Yan Ni!"
Zhu Yunwen is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart.
Detailed military reports on the previous defeat of Geng Bingwen's army have also been sent back to the Jinling court.
After Zhu Yunwen looked at it in detail, he discovered a problem, that is, Geng Bingwen really didn't make any mistakes, but idiots like Li Jian and Yang Song were too incompetent.
It was precisely because of these pig teammates that they disrupted Geng Bingwen's battle plan, so that he was directly defeated by the Yan army in the end.
However, Li Jian, Yang Song and others were either noble sons or relatives of the emperor. Geng Bingwen could not suppress them at all, which led to the final defeat.
It was precisely based on this that Zhu Yunwen decided to come to Longjiang in person to practice for Li Jinglong, and granted Li Jinglong the emperor's ax and the power to make arbitrary decisions when the opportunity came to suppress the arrogant generals such as Qu Neng and Yu Tongyuan!
Li Jinglong knelt on the ground again, speechless.
Now he just feels a lot of pressure and wants to give himself two big mouths.
His Majesty the Emperor thinks so highly of him, what should he do if he fails to defeat King Zhu Di of Yan?
With His Majesty's temper and temperament, he is very kind to you now. If the army is defeated, he may not be able to deal with you!
So Li Jinglong was afraid and felt regret for the first time.
But now, he has no way out and can only hold his nose and admit it.
Li Jinglong knelt down and took the emperor's axe, almost crying.
"I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness!"
