In September of the first year of Jianwen, Geng Bingwen's defeat angered the Ming dynasty and his ministers, and the court decided to launch an unprecedented large-scale attack on the King of Yan!

The strategy of attacking from north to south was decided, with Duke Cao Li Jinglong leading the Central Army to 500,000 in the south; Marquis of Jiangyin Wu Gao led the Liaodong Army out of the Liaoxi Corridor and attacking from north to two sides. It is expected that the trouble of the Beiping rebellion will be resolved within the first year of Jianwen!

Li Jinglong told the soldiers that after the battle, he would go home for the New Year!

...In Hejian Mansion, large troops gathered inside and outside the city, Li Jinglong stood at the top of the city. Facing the cold wind of late autumn, his heart was filled with passion. Looking at the teams of galloping iron cavalry, tents, and countless soldiers on the plain, he seemed to have stood on the clouds.

A real man should be like this!

Li Jinglong was wearing military uniforms outside, but his collar was red and blue silk, and fine embroidery on it. His whole body was spotless, and his sword was shining with jewelry, and his sword was brand new and had never been used. Standing on the thousands of troops with his head held high and his chest was like a phoenix of a jade mountain.

"Mr. Li is both civil and military, and Wenxiu's "Taizu's Versatile Records", Wu Pingyan rebelled, famous generals and capable ministers in ancient times, and no one is right." The subordinate bent down and said.

Li Jinglong narrowed his eyes and did not comment. He just reached out his hand and gently smoothed the beard on his lips.

At this moment, a soldier came over, knelt on one knee on the city wall, clasped his fists and said, "Report to the Grand Marshal, Governor Qu Neng asks for a meeting!"

"Bring him up." Li Jinglong waved his hand gently. He was the Duke of the State and was in charge of the seal of the chief commander of the official army. Now no matter who it is in the army, he must listen to him.

Soon, Qu Neng went to the city to hold military salutes.

Li Jinglong glanced slightly and saw Qu Neng being too serious, with a bitter and deep revenge on his face, as if someone owed him rice and paid him back his bran. That face was also quite suitable for Qu Neng. His plain forehead looked like he was suffering at first glance, and his rough skin seemed to be unwashed, and his beard on his mouth was also messy. He was still the governor like this?

"What's the matter with Governor Qu?" Li Jinglong said.

Qu Neng said: "I heard that Mr. Li wanted to transfer all the troops north?"

Li Jinglong was slightly displeased: "Didn't I just sent the order yesterday, don't you know?"

Qu Neng said in surprise: "The officials only know. The officials are brave enough. I have to say something! From here to Beiping, there is no danger to defend. Now hundreds of thousands of troops gather in the river, and there is not enough food and fodder. If the entire army rashly dispatches, how can we maintain it after reaching the city of Beiping? Since ancient times, Beiping has been a big town in Hebei, and the previous dynasty was the Yuandu, so it is not easy to break through..."

"Governor Qu is scared?" Li Jinglong's face had already been pulled down.

"The officials are really afraid. The lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers depend on us. We have to make up for the food, drink and expenses. How can we not be afraid?" Qu Neng said seriously.

"Hmph!" Li Jinglong shook his sleeves hard, raised his finger and pointed at Qu Neng, shouting sternly, "You are so brave, why are you fighting?!"

The subordinates hurriedly bowed and advised, "Good up, Li Gong."

Qu Neng's face was not changed, and he was not scared at all. He still stood there and said with his fists: "The military rations are insufficient. The people in the rear want to transport grain to Peiping. Will they not be plagued by cavalry in the field? The army gathered under the enemy city. How to deal with the turmoil of the army if the food is short of food?"

Li Jinglong's face turned red and cursed: "I have a 500,000 army in my hand! Can't I conquer a city in Peking? Can't the military rations last for even two months?"

Qu Neng still wanted to speak, Li Jinglong took a deep breath and said coldly: "I understand!"

A few days later, Li Jinglong personally led a large army to Beiping! Hundreds of thousands of people advanced along several major roads on the plains, and for a moment, the people and horses spread to the north like huge trends.

...

At that time, the North Road of the Guanjun had already moved south quickly and the troops were approaching Yongping City!

Zhu Gaoxu ordered the four cities of Yongping to be closed and the whole city was martial law.

He received news that the commander of this army from Liaodong was Wu Gao, the Marquis of Jiangyin. This Wu Gao soldier has been at the city for two days and has not set a single arrow. He built trenches and fences outside as soon as he came up...

Zhu Gaoxu climbed to the northern city and stood at the top of the city to watch. There was only noisy and noisy people outside, with no sound of cannons and guns. The enemy soldiers had not yet begun to attack the city. Looking into the distance, you could still see many people building wooden ladders.

Judging from this posture, Wu Gao is preparing to attack Yongping City!

Wu Gao should be steady, with his troops at least ten times that of Zhu Gaoxu, but he first built fortifications to defend and was not in a hurry to attack the city. Zhu Gaoxu had no choice but to do anything, and there were too few troops. If he attacked the fortifications with superior troops to defend, it seemed not cost-effective.

A group of military generals stood beside Zhu Gaoxu, as well as civil servants from Yongding Mansion, and everyone was talking about the defensive strategy.

"Ask the people to collect the feces. When they are boiled, they will be made of gold juice. That thing is poisonous and will rot wherever it is hot. No medicine is useful, just wait for suppuration and sores to ulcers!"

"Tonight, mix some mud and paste it on the city gate to prevent the enemy from attacking, and use gunpowder to burn the city gate..."

"Boil wood and stones must be prepared, and call the people to come to the city to help..."

...The crowd quarreled for a while, and Veda clasped his fists and said, "Prince, how should I defend?"

Zhu Gaoxu didn't say a word for a long time and kept looking outside. Then he turned around and said, "I'll find someone to prepare the methods you just said. But the most useful thing in this situation is..."

"What is it?" Everyone was afraid and anxious, and several people blurted out.

Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a moment and said, "Reinforcements."

Everyone gradually became silent, and finally a civil servant asked, "I heard that Duke Cao Li Jinglong's 500,000 troops were attacking Beiping. Does the King of Yan have any troops to help?"

Zhu Gaoxu said calmly with confidence: "Yes, my father has sent someone to tell me, and ask me to guard for a while and reinforcements will arrive."

The depressed atmosphere just now gradually rose again, and everyone immediately found hope, "King Gaoyang is the prince that the King of Yan loves the most, and he will definitely come to save him." "Fortunately, King Gaoyang is here, otherwise King Yan would not be able to care about Yongping City..."

Zhu Gaoxu didn't say anything and said to himself: You are really thinking too much. If it is a big deal, the King of Yan will definitely choose to sacrifice my son. Do you believe it? A real man can't even give up a son, so he still calls a real man?

But he couldn't say it. As the current guardian of Yongping City, the only thing Zhu Gaoxu could do is to deceive everyone in the city.

Otherwise, why do you have to work hard to guard a city without hope?

He can only do this, and there is no other way! Then Wu Gao clearly wants to do it. What other tactics can Zhu Gaoxu have besides fighting with him?

If he insisted on fighting, Zhu Gaoxu thought to himself that he was not as good as those on the stand. For example, some of the tricks they said just now were so bad that Zhu Gaoxu had never heard of.

However, those tricks can only delay time, and there is no use. The key to the hard-hitting lies in strength and number of people. You can't stay alone in the city, right? As long as you die, more than 3,000 people will be slowly lost and then scattered to the four walls, there will be weak troops.

So Zhu Gaoxu didn't have any method, so I can only tell you: reinforcements are coming soon.

...At night, Zhu Gaoxu had deployed the commanders of each city and left the city.

When Veda entered the entrustment room, he wanted to speak but stopped and finally asked, "Prince, when did we receive the news about the King of Yan?"

There were only two people in the signing room. Zhu Gaoxu glanced at him and said, "There is no news."

Veda: "…"

However, he quickly understood Zhu Gaoxu's intention and lowered his head and sighed.

Just now, Zhu Gaoxu was very calm and calm on the top of the city, but now his face was ugly and he was very depressed... I did nothing, just obeyed the military orders, but why was he always in a siege?

The two of them were thinking about something and were silent for a while. Zhu Gaoxu said again: "Wei Qianhu, don't give up hope. My father may come. It depends on whether our affairs will be successful."

Veda raised his head and looked at Zhu Gaoxu with a little confusion.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "If our affairs are done, my father will be willing to give up Beiping City. He will take the risk of first collecting the elite troops of Daning, expanding his strength, and then fighting the main force of Li Jinglong's army. His father wants to go to Daning. In addition to Songting Pass (Xifengkou), which is also in the hands of the Daning Army, the best choice for overturning the Great Wall is Liujiakou. His father will definitely come to Yongping to save us."

Veda nodded and said, "The prince is right. I hope it will be successful!"

Zhu Gaoxu refused to comment. His wish was the same as Veda... but he was still hanging in his heart. After all, that kind of trick could not have no loopholes; whether one of the loopholes would be discovered depends on his fate!

Veda held his fists and said, "I will go to various cities to inspect again." Zhu Gaoxu nodded and waved his hand to let him go.

After dinner, Zhu Gaoxu also asked someone to lead the horse out and took a team of personal soldiers to inspect the city defense.

The late autumn season in the north is already very cold. In less than a month, the water may freeze. At this moment, the cold wind blows on his face, and Zhu Gaoxu also feels a little tingling, and his skin becomes dryer and dryer.

Fortunately, Zhu Gaoxu was only grateful to the King of Yan. Thanks for having a prince's father who could get so many benefits, but could not bring into the relationship between father and son... Otherwise, he might be like the prince at this moment and would be emotionally hurt?

After all, no matter what kind of sufficient reason, it is not pleasant to be abandoned by your own father and not care about life or death. But because Zhu Gaoxu is not troubled by family affection, he can understand the King of Yan instead.

"Prince!" "Prince..." The soldiers behind the wall clasped their fists.

Zhu Gaoxu suppressed his inner depression and worry, nodded expressionlessly and said, "When the enemy soldiers attack the city, you should also pay attention to saving your life when fighting. We must also preserve our strength. When the reinforcements of the King of Yan arrive, we will defeat Wu Gao in the inside and outside!"

He walked forward for a while and said to the soldiers here: "The reinforcements are coming, let's guard for ten days and half a month first."

Reinforcements are coming!

Reinforcements are coming...
