The 600,000-strong army was completely defeated by Li Jinglong.
This time, even Huang Zicheng, who recommended him, did not dare to protect him.
On the contrary, he really wanted to eat Li Jinglong alive.
He trusted Li Jinglong so much, but as a result, this guy turned out to be a huge trap!
With an army of 600,000, even if they tied up a dog, they wouldn't lose so miserably!
At this moment, in Fengtian Palace.
"Your Majesty, Li Jinglong escaped from the battlefield and abandoned an army of 600,000 to Yan Ni."
"Then he left millions of stones of grain from Dezhou to Yan Ni."
"It is truly an intolerable crime."
"I sincerely request your Majesty to put this thief to death in order to set the record straight."
Huang Zicheng looked excited and looked at Li Jinglong as if he was about to breathe fire.
Later, the ministers also agreed.
Request that Li Jinglong be killed.
Zhu Yunwen, who was sitting on the dragon chair, looked at the excited officials below and felt very confused.
Li Jinglong lost the battle, but he didn't want to kill him just like that.
After all, Li Jinglong is his cousin, and the two are real relatives.
If it had been anyone else, maybe he would have agreed.
"My dear friends, although Mr. Cao Guo made mistakes, his crimes were not worthy of death."
"After all, victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs."
Zhu Yunwen spoke.
"Your Majesty, this case cannot be made."
"If there is nothing wrong with destroying an army of 600,000, then in the future, that general will still take the majesty of the imperial court in his eyes." Qitai stood up and said.
"I second the proposal!"
Li Jinglong, who was kneeling in the center of the hall, felt very nervous after hearing these words.
I'm afraid you won't be able to escape this time, right?
At the same time, he secretly hates these officials who are adding insult to injury.
I just lost the battle, so why do I need to kill myself?
Of course, he was just thinking about these things in his mind. Now, all he had to do was see how Zhu Yunwen would deal with him.
If he really wanted to kill himself, he could only hope that his uncle Yang Xuan would take action in time.
He had promised himself that he would protect himself from death.
Otherwise, how could he dare to act like this?
Facing the ministers' attitude of almost forcing the palace, Zhu Yunwen knew that if he wanted to keep Li Jinglong, he couldn't argue with them.
So he looked at Li Jinglong and said, "Mr. Cao Guo, what do you think of this matter? Don't you have something to say?"
What do you think? Of course he was kneeling to watch... Li Jinglong thought to himself, and then said: "Return to your majesty, I have betrayed your majesty's trust, and I will never resign myself even if I die."
"When I return to the capital, I just want to say goodbye to His Majesty."
"Now, please, Your Majesty, please follow the wishes of the ministers and issue an order to kill me."
"It can be regarded as an explanation to the soldiers who died on the battlefield."
Li Jinglong looked sad and looked like he was begging for death.
It can be called an explosion of acting skills.
Listening to Li Jinglong's words, Zhu Yunwen was moved in his heart.
This is because I don’t want to embarrass myself, so I beg to die.
Good old cousin, don't worry, I will definitely not let you die... Zhu Yunwen secretly made up his mind.
"My lords, although Cao Guogong is responsible for the defeat in this battle, his guilt will not lead to death."
"The most important thing now is how to destroy Yan Ni."
"As for Mr. Cao Guo, let him be confined at home first, and then punished after the chaos is over."
Zhu Yunwen said.
"Your Majesty, no!"
"I have made up my mind!"
"Retreat!"
After hearing the result of Zhu Yunwen's treatment, Li Jinglong's heart dropped.
I just made a dangerous move, but I didn't expect it to happen.
He glanced at Huang Zicheng proudly and walked out of Fengtian Hall in a swaggering manner.
"He...how can he be so shameless?" Huang Zicheng broke his guard and pointed at Li Jinglong with a trembling finger.
Qitai's face was ugly, and his mood was as uncomfortable as eating a fly.
…
After capturing Dezhou, Zhu Di set his sights on Jinan. If he wanted to go south, Jinan must be captured.
But Zhu Di didn't expect that he would encounter strong resistance here.
The defender of Jinan was named Tie Xuan. He was responsible for escorting grain and grass for Li Jinglong's army.
When Li Jinglong abandoned the army and fled, he did not run away, but collected the defeated troops along the way.
The defeated soldiers gathered by him didn't know why this person took them in, nor where he wanted to take them.
When they asked Tie Xuan this question, Tie Xuan just replied: "I want to lead you to defend Jinan."
Since he started his army, Zhu Di has won consecutive battles. In the eyes of these soldiers, Zhu Di is invincible.
Therefore, they have no confidence at all in holding Jinan.
The soldiers persuaded Tie Xuan to give up, but Tie Xuan's attitude was very firm: "I was appointed by the imperial court to participate in politics in Shandong. It is my duty to guard Jinan."
In this way, he came to Jinan with the defeated troops gathered along the way.
Here he met someone.
A person who influenced his life.
This man's name was Sheng Yong, and he served as the capital commander under Li Jinglong.
He has no outstanding record.
Under Li Jinglong's command, he kept losing battles and running away.
So much so that I learned the essence of escaping.
At this time, people in Jinan City were panicked, and no one had confidence in holding on to Jinan.
After all, even Li Jinglong's 600,000-strong army was defeated by Zhu Di.
At this moment, under Jinan City, Zhu Di's 200,000 troops were camped here.
He was full of confidence in whether he could win the city in front of him.
Defeating Li Jinglong's 600,000-strong army, his strength was greatly enhanced.
Countless state capitals are waiting for the wind to fall.
It even made Zhu Di and his soldiers feel a little complacent.
As the old saying goes, a proud soldier will be defeated.
God seems to want Zhu Di to suffer a loss so that he can recognize the reality.
The reason why he can always win is not only his own leadership ability, but also the cooperation of undercover agents.
The siege began.
Because the city in front of him was the first one that dared to resist since his victory.
So Zhu Di wanted to attack the city from the front.
Let the world understand that those who oppose him will eventually fail.
Following Zhu Di's order, densely packed soldiers of Yan Army rushed towards the city ahead.
Unexpectedly, this city was not as easy to fight as Zhu Di imagined.
Many people died every day, but the Yan army could never get in.
We have to admit that Tie Hyun and Sheng Yong are very capable.
They were unknown before just because they had no chance.
Now, the opportunity has come.
The Yan army attacked day and night, but Tie Xuan did not hide behind.
He personally stood on the city wall and directed the battle, taking the lead.
He used his actions to infect the defenders who had little confidence.
You know, most of the defenders were defeated troops gathered by Tie Xuan.
They have a kind of fear from the bottom of their hearts towards the Yan army.
Under the leadership of Tie Xuan, they repelled the Yan army's attacks time and time again.
At this time, they discovered that the Yan army was not invincible.
The morale of the defenders was greatly boosted, and it became increasingly difficult for the Yan army to attack the city.
For several days, there was nothing we could do about the city in front of us.
As a last resort, Zhu Di could only order a suspension of the attack.
