Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Uncle's Good Words

"Gao Xu fought in Xuzhou, and even your uncle praised you very much." The King of Yan looked at Zhu Gaoxu.

Xu Huizu praised him, how did the King of Yan know? Zhu Gaoxu immediately thought of the traitorous spies, and the news came so quickly... The father not only was good at fighting on the battlefield, but also played a great role in arranging traitorous spies, and he often knew the deployment of the official army in advance.

Before he could speak, the King of Yan paused a little and said, "Gao Xu is good at using cavalry, you have too few soldiers, Zhang Wu!"

Zhang Wu left the list and said, "The last one will be there."

King Yan said: "You and the twelve elite cavalry in our department will follow Gao Xu and be led by him."

Zhang Wu clasped his fists and said, "I will obey the order!"

Zhang Wu is no longer the escort General Qian. Before, because Zhu Gaoxu tried his best to perform his merits, he later made several contributions. At this time, he was promoted to the position of governor Tongzhi; he had the most elite cavalry in the Northern Army in his hand!

Moreover, Zhang Wu and Zhu Gaoxu have a good personal relationship, and the King of Yan suddenly greatly strengthened Zhu Gaoxu's strength... Zhu Gaoxu had to guess that the situation might be serious!

Zhu Gaoxu didn't care much about what he did when the King of Yan needed him. After all, he himself wanted to help the King of Yan win this war earlier.

Regarding the "Jingnan Campaign", Zhu Gaoxu was most worried about something wrong, which led to everyone being ruined! He was also worried that Miaojin had a strait in the wine cellar, and was also worried about Yao Ji in the capital... In short, he really wanted to survive this period quickly and experience the taste of a prince first.

Zhu Gaoxu then clasped his fists and said, "My son only wants his father to win as soon as possible, and he always cares about his efforts to share his worries for his father!"

King Yan nodded to him, and then he said, "I just got some news, and the situation became increasingly urgent. If my army wants to drive straight down the Huaihe River, it may not be possible. I have to fight a big battle first!"

He turned his head to look at Jin Zhong. Jin Zhong bowed and said to the generals: "Sheng Yong was completely killed after the Jiahe Battle, and was gathering village warriors to deploy defense of the Huaihe River. At this time, the Ping'an Army in the north had already left Jining and crossed the Yellow River; Xu Huizu and He Fu's reinforcements crossed the Huaihe River..."

"We have received the exact news. Someone in the court has guessed our division's strategy of "Linjiang to fight, and rushed to the capital", so the government army did not reinforce Xuzhou." Jin Zhong raised his hands and closed in the middle, "and wanted to attack our division in Sui River!"

Jin Zhong said again: "The prince's plan is to respond by 'concentrating his troops and defeating each one'. Our army first set up an ambush in the Fei River to defeat Ping'an; then go east to Sui River to face Xu Huizu and He Fu's troops to dismantle the encirclement and block the army of our army, and then cross the Huai River!"

King Yan said: "Can you understand?"

The generals clasped their fists and said, "The last general understands!" "The prince is wise!"

...At that time, the King of Yan had already raised a large amount of military rations, so the Northern Army successively withdrew from Xuzhou and headed south.

This time, Qiu Fu was the vanguard and pretended to search for Sui River. Zhu Gaoxu led more than 10,000 infantry and cavalry to follow Qiu Fu, and the camera supported him. Along the way, two bands of men bluffed, clamoring along the way, and shaking the cannons.

The King of Yan had led the main force to advance towards the Feishui River, hoping to ambush the path of the Ping'an Army.

Zhu Gaoxu kept a distance from Qiu Fu and followed Qiu Fu's troops very slowly, waiting for news from the King of Yan. It was almost September. Although it was not as cold as Peking, it was even more wet. When I woke up in the morning, Zhu Gaoxu felt that his armor was cold and there were some dewdrops gathered on it.

Ten days later, several cavalry came from the west, checked the seal outside the military camp, and entered Zhu Gaoyang's central army headquarters.

The messenger knelt on one knee and handed over a letter.

Zhu Gaoxu took a look and looked back at Zhang Wu, Wang Bin and others, "Ping'an noticed that my father's ambushed and fought with our division, but the winner was not decided. Ping'an had retreated to Suzhou City; my father surrounded Suzhou and was difficult to capture, so he only robbed the troops who were escorting food and grass in Xuzhou City."

Zhang Wudao: "Pingan has not arrived in Suzhou yet, so Xuzhou has sent food. It seems that Pingan lacks food and cannot stay in Suzhou for a long time."

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said, "Even so, my master wants to siege the city and starve to death, and it is too late. The father may withdraw the siege and change the direction to attack Xu Huizu and He Fu's troops first."

...This matter was again criticized by Zhu Gaoxu! In mid-September, the King of Yan had no choice but to take peace and ordered Qiu Fu to rush to Sui River, find a suitable place to build a floating bridge, and the army conquered the Ri and headed south!

When Zhang Wu heard this news, he couldn't help but compliment Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu was also quite moved when he thought about Zhang Wu's criticism of his military use more than two years ago. Over the past period of time, he also felt that he had changed a few times. He had experienced countless battles of all sizes and sizes, and he had learned a lot of things.

Before each war, the King of Yan considered and arranged the situation; and the King of Yan often led the cavalry to avoid the front and search for weaknesses... Zhu Gaoxu saw the details of major events, and most of the war was learned from the King of Yan. He also learned some tricks from other military generals. Although it was very complicated, he had already gained a lot of experience and figured out some things he had understood.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu had not received the new military order from King Yan, and perhaps the King of Yan was busy leading his army to advance towards Sui River.

He got the military newspaper from Qiu Fu, and Qiu Fu had already chosen a place to build a bridge... There is an old river channel on the Sui River, called Xiaohe. The river surface is not wide, so it is just possible to build a bridge as soon as possible.

Zhu Gaoxu first sent a scout to inquire about the place of Qiu Fujian Bridge. A few days later, he convened the generals to discuss matters.

Now that Zhu Gaoxu's army has increased greatly, he no longer asked officers of more than a hundred households to attend, but ordered military generals above the Thousand Generals to discuss matters, and the tent was also filled with dozens of people.

Zhu Gaoxu followed the appearance of the King of Yan and first asked Veda, who spoke clearly, to inform the King of Yan and Qiu Fu's military movements to avoid wasting verbal talk.

After Veda finished speaking, Zhu Gaoxu said, "My father did not give us a new military order, and the military order we received before was to support Qiu Fu's troops. Now Qiu Fu is building a bridge in the small river, so our troops should be close to Qiu Fu and reach the distance that can reinforce Qiu Fu."

He took out a sloppy and simple map he had just drawn, raised it and pointed it, "Qiu Fu is here in the river. The circle of the side rear wing is a large forest land, about two miles away from the river. The scout just found it. Let's squat in the woods and act according to the opportunity... Look at the direction, go up, north and south!"

Everyone stretched their necks and looked at them, clasped their fists and said, "I will obey the order!"

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and said, "Get out of the camp!"

After packing up their things, the troops set out in order and headed south along a large road. Zhu Gaoxu left Peiping in early June and had been running with the army for nearly four months, and he did not fight any major battles along the way. The battle under Xuzhou City was praised by many people, but the actual scale was not large.
