The 132nd chapter Lingbi's cannon (1)

Xu Huizu, Duke of Wei, actually led his army away!

When Zhu Gaoxu learned the news, he felt confused at the beginning. He occasionally felt that his thinking was different from those of the people of this era and could not understand some of the ancients' ideas...

But after arriving at the Yan King's army, Zhu Gaoxu learned that it was not that the court had any clever strategy that was not understood by others, but it was just a mistake of the court!

The generals in the tent changed their frustration and depressedness two days ago. Everyone was making noise and burst into laughter from time to time.

The King of Yan is describing the details of the scene in which the Emperor Ming made this decision, such as the Qingmen from the East Warehouse, and there are several people, saying it as if he had seen it from a distance... The spy in the King of Yan's mansion is very good.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and looked at Zhu Neng's exaggerated mouth when he laughed, and suddenly felt a sense of dazedness.

There is no destiny in this world, nor is there a wheel of destiny... The victory of King Yan is not destined at all, and it will depend on luck and accident many times! Just like this time, if Xu Huizu had not been suddenly transferred, even if it was half a month later, the Northern Army would really have a big drink.

Zhu Gaoxu only felt that the situation was going ups and downs too quickly. Yesterday, he felt that the situation could not be opened, but suddenly there was hope again today. He followed everyone to be glad, but he was worried that he would be happy too early, but tomorrow would be a pit?

King Yan said: "Peace, He Fufang moved his troops to Lingbi. The time has come, and our army will find a decisive battle!"

"The prince is wise!" everyone said one after another.

The King of Yan turned to look at Zhu Gaoxu, "This time Gao Xu is the vanguard, so he went to Lingbi to test the military situation first."

Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly bowed: "My son receives the order!"

In the battle of Qimeishan, although Zhu Gaoxu was not a forward, he became a forward inexplicably; King Yan seemed to be very satisfied with his performance, and this time he became a legitimate striker.

...Zhu Gaoxu sent his scouts across the river, and then led the cavalry through the floating bridge.

This time, Zhu Gaoxu did not bring the infantry under Veda's command, and all the vanguard troops were horses... ready to run away at any time.

Although Xu Huizu's men and horses left, He Fu and Ping'an still had more than 100,000 people. Zhu Gaoxu's men and horses were very different from the government forces, and he was worried that the government troops would fight back, so he only led the cavalry to go there.

The general of the official army, Ping An, yelled a word on the battlefield, which made it very reasonable: If the cavalry does not run away, is it still called a cavalry?

In the afternoon, Zhu Gaoxu received a report from the scout: "The official army repaired the fortifications in Lingbi!"

So Zhu Gaoxu ordered Zhang Wu to temporarily take charge of the vanguard's military power, so he led his personal soldiers and a hundred-house team to run around Lingbi, trying to see what happened with his own eyes. When he was about to arrive at Lingbi, he ran into the official army's cavalry, but the cavalry did not dare to come up.

When approaching Lingbi, Zhu Gaoxu saw the situation of the official army camp. Sure enough, he saw dust flying outside the county town, just like on a construction site!

As the sun sets, Zhu Gaoxu covers his hands above his eyes and carefully observes the construction site to the west. There are many people working in the government army. The earth walls and fences have already begun to form, and deep trenches have been dug outside the wall. Judging from this, Ping'an He Fu doesn't want to fight in the field and wants to defend?

At this moment, the shadows of the three light cavalry appeared under the light of the sunset and gradually ran closer. One of them shouted: "Prince, the official army's large team has left the city gate!"

"Let's go!" Zhu Gaoxu immediately shouted, then turned his horse's head and flashed.

Zhu Gaoxu ran quickly with his personal soldiers, and he didn't even see the shadow of the pursuers. The sun gradually set. When he returned to the forefront camp, it was completely dark, and Zhang Wu had already deployed the generals to set up the military camp.

Zhang Wu, Wang Bin and others welcomed him out of the military camp and took Zhu Gaoxu to the central army's tent.

"The Lingbi side cannot fight for a while, so the government army built high walls and deep ditches." Zhu Gaoxu walked into the tent and said immediately. He sat on the bench, picked up the iron cup and drank boiled water.

Zhang Wudao: "Ping'an chased him from Shandong to this place, and joined more than 100,000 troops with He Fu. In the battle of Sui Shui River, the two of them led their troops to fight with our division, but they did not lose the disadvantage. The King of Yan would not dare to leave this official army behind."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said, "Ping'an He Fu suddenly built a trench barrier, which means he doesn't want to fight for the time being and has to delay the battle. But the official army has a problem. How can the warehouse in a small county town in Lingbi afford to support an army of more than 100,000?"

"Zhao Ping!" Zhu Gaoxu called out of the account.

A tall and thin young man walked in, clasped his fists and said, "Young man is here, please give me instructions."

Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while and said, "I'll write it down by myself. You can find two familiar brothers to send a letter to the Yan King's Central Army tonight!"

"As for your order!" Zhao Ping said.

So Zhu Gaoxu asked someone to bring paper and ink and began to write letters.

While considering the words, he looked up and said to Zhang Wu and others, "Ping An is working on fortifications, and there will definitely be people transporting grain to Lingbi. It is not the time to attack the official army's camp, so he has to cut off the food route first. If the official army has no food to eat, I will see how long Ping An can shrink behind the trench!"

Zhang Wu clasped his fists and said, "King Gaoyang is becoming more and more good at using troops."

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said, "General Zhang is too rewarded. You don't need to understand the art of military affairs. Just think about it more. Since my father said that he wanted to fight the official army, he could not suffer a great loss to attack the trenches and barriers. He had to force peace first and then clean up!"

He wrote the letter, burned the paint and sealed it, then used a seal to cover it. When the paint became hard, he gave it to Zhao Ping for a few words.

The next morning, Zhu Gaoxu did not order the camp to be removed. He felt that going to Lingbi now would be of no use, and it would take time and effort for the soldiers to build camps. It would be better to stay there just by the military camp that he built yesterday.

Before noon, Zhao Ping and others came back on horseback. Zhao Ping reported: "Return to the prince, the King of Yan personally received the letter. After reading the letter, the King of Yan asked Xiao to bring a message: Gao... King Gaoyang said it well, I have sent Tan Qing south to cut off the official army's food route."

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu said, "I understand, you go and rest."

"Yes, a small departure."

Zhu Gaoxu called Chen Dachui and asked him to send some scouts to disguise themselves as people, set out at night, hid near the official camp, and monitored the movements of the enemy.

Before this group of people set off, suddenly there were scouts coming back from the front report: "The official army and cavalry came out of the camp and headed south!"

Zhu Gaoxu asked, "How many people are there?"

The soldier thought for a while and said, "I guess there are 30,000 to 50,000 people."

Zhu Gaoxu immediately took out a piece of paper from his bag and unfolded it. He wrote a letter to report to the King of Yan's military affairs, and found personal soldiers to go to deliver the letter. He watched the person who delivered the letter get on the horse and left, so he paced back and forth at the door of the tent, and decided not to move in a hurry and wait for the King of Yan's deployment.
