At night, the cold wind howled.
Li Jinglong did not rest, he knew that Zhu Di would definitely attack.
I just don’t know when the other party will attack.
It was midnight. At this time, except for the patrollers, everyone else had already rested.
But at this moment, shouts of killing came from the distance, and Li Jinglong knew that Zhu Di was coming.
He did not hesitate, took his close soldiers and ran away decisively.
Zhu Di was left with hundreds of thousands of troops.
Since Zhu Di adopted a night attack, and the coach Li Jinglong ran away, hundreds of thousands of troops were suddenly let go.
Zhu Di was exhausted just by catching prisoners.
This battle directly increased Zhu Di's strength, and he also captured a lot of food, grass and weapons.
However, many soldiers still took advantage of the situation and ran away.
There was nothing that could be done about it. Hundreds of thousands of people on both sides were mixed together, it was already a mess, and it was dark, so it was naturally impossible to capture everyone.
Zhu Quan followed Zhu Di, looking at the harvest of this battle with complicated emotions.
After the two brothers entered the city, Zhu Di looked at his two tired sons and encouraged: "You did a good job."
Zhu Gaochi modestly said that this was what he should do, while Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said that he could do better.
Zhu Di didn't say much to them. He was anxious to return to Prince Yan's Mansion to visit his wife.
Not long ago, he learned that his wife had brought women from the city to the city to help fight, but he was shocked.
The two brothers Zhu Gaochi were helpless as they watched their father return in a hurry.
Sure enough, it was an accident for them.
…
On the other side, after Li Jinglong ran to Dezhou, he began to collect the defeated troops.
Not counting those captured by Zhu Di and those who escaped in the chaos, he finally gathered more than 200,000 defeated troops.
Now that the imperial court has not removed him from his position as general, he can only take the remaining more than 200,000 troops to guard Dezhou.
After the news of his defeat reached the capital, Huang Zicheng panicked.
Because Li Jinglong was recommended by him, if Li Jinglong dies, he will suffer the same fate.
So, he made a bold decision.
Conceal the true situation from Zhu Yunwen and keep Li Jinglong's position as head coach.
At this time, the advantage of Li Jinglong being good at managing interpersonal relationships emerged.
After suffering such a big defeat, nothing happened at all.
No one else has this ability.
However, the weather was cold at this time and it was impossible to fight. We could only wait for the weather to get warmer before the decisive battle.
Taking advantage of this short truce, Zhu Di quickly digested the fruits of victory and turned them into strength.
Then there is the preparation of the army for war.
…
Beijing.
Heavy snow fell, and the entire capital was covered in snow.
Former Changpinghou Mansion.
Yang Xuan sat under the eaves, staring at the falling snowflakes in a daze.
An Qing didn't know when he appeared behind him and put a big cloak on Yang Xuan.
"It's cold, why don't you warm yourself by the fire in the room?" Yang Xuan came back to his senses, held An Qing's hand, looked at her and asked.
"You're not here!"
"Still worried about the war?" An Qing asked with concern.
"Yeah, I don't know how long this war will last." Yang Xuan sighed.
The longer this battle of peace lasts, the greater the losses Ming will suffer.
"You have done enough, leave the rest to Fourth Brother!"
"We have to believe him!" An Qing said.
"I know." Yang Xuan nodded.
Then he took An Qing into his arms and placed him on his lap.
Then he wrapped her in a big cloak to prevent her from catching cold.
The snow fell heavier and heavier, and soon the ground was covered with a thick layer.
"Let's build a snowman!" An Qing suggested.
"Okay." Yang Xuan agreed with a smile.
…
Time soon came to the second year of Jianwen.
After a winter of rest, Zhu Di's strength has been greatly enhanced.
He also knew that the next war was coming.
The coach is still Li Jinglong.
The imperial court has also replaced the lost troops and horses, this time there are 600,000.
The military strength gap between Zhu Di and him was still huge.
But Zhu Di didn't panic.
Because Ping An, the vanguard of this battle, had long been persuaded by Yang Xuan and now became Zhu Di's undercover.
In March, the war started again.
The battle took place at Baigou River.
Pioneer Pingan led the army into Zhu Di's encirclement and was successfully "captured".
He is not good at acting, so he is not included in the follow-up plan.
By the way, Qu Neng and his son were also captured safely.
Li Jinglong knew the abilities of these two people, so in order not to let them disrupt the subsequent plans, he directly gave these two people to Zhu Di.
After capturing Qu Neng and his son, Zhu Di first tried to persuade them to surrender, but failed.
But he kept Yang Xuan's instructions in mind and did not kill the other party.
Just lock it up.
The first battle was a great victory, and the morale of the Yan army was greatly boosted.
But Zhu Di still didn't dare to be careless.
The current situation is still severe.
In addition to Li Jinglong's 600,000 troops on the front, there is also an army led by Wuding Marquis Guo Ying on the other side, starting from Zhending and coming.
The number of soldiers and horses under his command was barely 300,000.
This is thanks to the hundreds of thousands of prisoners captured in the Battle of Zhengjiaba.
Two days later, the two sides took up positions and the battle was about to break out.
Zhu Di ordered his general Qiu Fu to lead his army to attack the central army, and he led the cavalry to attack on the flank.
Li Jinglong was very cooperative with Zhu Di, but at the critical moment, he ran away again.
The 600,000-strong army was abandoned to Zhu Di.
Zhu Di was overjoyed when he saw this.
The organization's men shouted "Coach Li Jinglong has run away" while beating him.
The morale of the imperial army dropped visibly.
Zhu Di began to capture prisoners again.
Li Jinglong, who had already run out of the battlefield, looked back at the battlefield and said secretly: "Cousin, cousin, I have paid too much for you."
Immediately, he stopped staying and ran back to Texas, preparing to collect the defeated troops.
Guo Ying on the other side also stopped after receiving news from the front line.
He ordered his generals to prepare to collect the defeated troops.
Then he withdrew to Zhending and waited for the imperial decree.
Guo Ying knew that after two consecutive defeats, the court would definitely blame Li Jinglong.
Then the only one who can cooperate with Zhu Di next is himself.
Zhu Di left some troops to guard the prisoners and seizures, and led the main force to pursue Dezhou.
Before Li Jinglong was dismissed by the court, he quickly captured Dezhou first.
He knew that Texas had millions of stones of food.
He had captured hundreds of thousands of prisoners this time, and the food and grass that had been relatively abundant suddenly became insufficient.
Must be added.
When Zhu Di pursued him to Dezhou, Li Jinglong turned around and ran away without saying a word, leaving behind the tens of thousands of defeated troops he had just collected and the millions of stones of food in the city.
Zhu Di did not send anyone to pursue Li Jinglong. The harvest from this battle was huge and he had to seize the time to digest the results.
On the wall of Dezhou City, Zhu Di looked at the direction Li Jinglong was leaving and murmured in a low voice: "Jiujiang (Li Jinglong's character), take care!"
