On August 16, Zhu Gaoxu led his army to Zhengzhou with King Yàn.Zhengzhou was empty and officials opened the door to surrender, so most of the Yàn army was stationed inside and outside Zhengzhou.
King Yàn was promoted to the hall in the lobby of the prefecture government office, and ordered the generals to settle the camp and go to the lobby to discuss matters.
Zhu Gaoxu's left escort headquarters circled a piece of land on Fuqian Street and set up a camp. Wang Bin and others chose a house, and more than 200 people accompanied Zhu Gaoxu to live in it.
When Zhu Gaoxu came in, the yard was full of people. He didn't know where the original owner of the house had gone, and he should have been driven away by the soldiers.
He asked Wang Bin the Southern Army general whom he captured last night, and soon Wang Bin took the man to the downward room.
If you want to kill, kill!The man with his hands tied behind him hummed again when he came in.
Zhu Gaoxu said: I have received your loyalty and courageous ethics, so there is no need to repeat it.
The man was stunned for a moment, but didn't know how to respond.
Zhu Gaoxu looked at him and the man's face was wiped, and he was no longer as dirty as last night.
He doesn't look like a very fierce person. In the words of the alchemist, this man has a female appearance, his facial contour is not clear, his face is round and his eyes are big.
Just looking at his appearance, he is gentle, but he is indeed a general. He was also quite well-organized in the formation last night.
Zhu Gaoxu walked forward, his tone was calm, just like a chat. The person who caught you was named Wang Bin. Wang Bin may have told you that I am the second son of King Yàn, Zhu Gaoxu, the prince of Gaoyang County.What is your name and what official position?
Even the prince introduced himself first. The man hesitated for a moment and said: I am a hundred households, Liu Ying.
Hundred households?Zhu Gaoxu was a little surprised. Last night, you set up more than one hundred people.
Liu Ying said: The camp is too chaotic, and General Qian and Deputy General Qian are missing. I will gather my subordinates first, and then call other people to form a formation.
Liu Baihu has more than a hundred households.While complimenting, Zhu Gaoxu went up and untied Liu Ying's rope with his own hands.
Liu Ying moved his arm and stood there a little confused. Because Zhu Gaoxu was treated politely, he felt embarrassed to curse, but he felt embarrassed to surrender immediately, with a very embarrassing expression.
Zhu Gaoxu advised: All military officers in the court are hereditary, and there are thousands of officers in a hundred households. If you are one hundred households, you will still be a hundred households until you are old. Who remembers whether you die or live?What's more, you were defeated and captured last night. Even if you can go back now, it may be military law waiting for Liu Baihu.We are all from the Ming Dynasty, and I am still the grandson of Taizu. Why should Liu Baihu take his life to choose a sideline?
Zhu Gaoxu paused, his tone increased a little. Even if the civil and military officials of the court had to choose a team, would they be at your turn?
Wang Bin said behind: Liu Baihu, the person in front of you is the prince.Don't miss the opportunity, go back and pat your thighs!
Liu Ying frowned and stood for a while, then suddenly knelt on one knee, clasped her fists and said: The general of the sin has heard of the name of King Gaoyang in the capital, and the general of the sin is willing to serve the work of a dog or a horse!
Zhu Gaoxu stretched out his big palm and patted Liu Ying on the shoulder. It's great, I have to go to see King Yàn first.
As soon as he walked out of the room, he heard Wang Bin's voice behind him: "Cut the round card, did you hold the shield last night?"I see your face looks like a round shield, haha...
Zhu Gaoxu went to the lobby of the yamen and saw that King Yàn was already sitting on the seat under the plaque hanging high in a bright mirror.
King Yàn first heard Zhang Bao, the general of the Southern Army who surrendered last night, exaggerated the battle situation last night in the lobby. The Southern Army was defeated and had no power to resist.
He said in public: The Southern Army is vulnerable, we will immediately go south and defeat Geng Bingwen in one fell swoop!
Then, King Yàn actually ordered Zhang Bao to be sent back!Zhang Bao was worried and a little reluctant, but he left.
After seeing off the surrendered generals, King Yàn immediately reviewed the generals and said: The surrendered general Zhang Bao has told me the deployment of the official army, and Geng Bingwen's army is stationed on both sides of the Hutuo River.I told Zhang Bao just now, and when he went back, he shouted that the Yàn army would attack Zhending... But I waited for a day. When Geng Bingwen moved the South Bank's official army together to the North Bank, the military formation was in turmoil, and our cavalry took advantage of the situation to attack him!
When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he seemed to understand it, but he seemed to not understand it, and he was a little confused.
The ancients had a strange way of thinking. Why did Geng Bingwen move the entire army to the north shore and set up formations outside the city when he heard those news?
Geng Bingwen can also let the officials on the north bank defend the city, and the officials on the south bank confront each other across the river, so as to stabilize the position first.
Or was the Southern Army's vanguard defeated, and Geng Bingwen wanted to concentrate his troops to fight in the field to regain morale; or was he considered that there were still official troops in Hejian Prefecture in the northeast, and wanted to attack the invading Yàn army?
These inferences and considerations have certain reasons and certain possibilities.What Zhu Gaoxu didn't understand was why King Yàn was sure?
Zhu Gaoxu didn't think he was stupider than the ancients, so he thought that the way of thinking of King Yàn and Geng Bingwen were very strange.In Zhu Gaoxu's view, every link is full of uncertainties after this strategy.
No matter what, Zhu Gaoxu still knew himself and didn't say anything after hearing this.He just waited for King Yàn to finish his words, and stood up and clasped his fists and said: Father, last night, my son arrested a hundred households of the Southern Army. Please deal with it yourself.
It seems that it is not in accordance with the rules if the captives are not reported. Besides, Zhu Gaoxu will report first when the left guards are staring at them.
King Yàn turned his head to look at Zhu Gaoxu, and as he stood up, he said casually, "Okay."
After the Central Army ordered a day to rest, Zhu Gaoxu took his men to the shop to requisition a batch of cotton cloth and summoned soldiers to cut them into pennant flags.
There were hundreds of red flags, hundreds of green flags, and hundreds of green flags. Zhu Gaoxu ordered the word "tiger" to be written on it and tied it to the small flagpole.
At night, he summoned his military generals to the mansion to discuss matters.
After the Qianhu and the Deputy Qianhu were all here, after the ceremony, Zhu Gaoxu asked people to send them the pennant flags of green and green colors, and said: We are cavalrymen, and the conflicts are fast and the people will run wild and cannot be found in the future.You take the flag back and tie it to your back when you choose a hundred people to go into battle. I also ask my personal soldiers to plant the red flag.Above the battle formation, you can see it at a glance.
Qianhu Zhang Wu's face immediately became very ugly. He might have heard the clues from his words... The words criticized Zhu Gaoxu may have been heard.
Zhang Wu frowned and said: King Gaoyang is also a person with many battle formations. How could he need such a thing?We can recognize these flags, and the enemy soldiers can also recognize them. Didn’t we provoke the enemy soldiers to attack the Gaoyang King’s Central Army?
Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and said: My personal soldiers have chosen the most elite soldiers, are they still afraid of enemy soldiers attacking?
Zhang Wu was about to refute him again, and Zhu Gaoxu said coldly: Zhang Qianhu, do you want to disobey?
The last general... dare not!Zhang Wu looked dark and sighed after saying that.
The generals remained silent, although they did not object, but seemed not very satisfied with this matter.
Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and said: It’s gone.
Several generals held military salutes one after another: The last generals and waited for retirement.
The troops rested in Zhengzhou City for one night, and after breakfast the next day, they drove the camp one after another.Zhu Gaoxu was ordered to lead his army to follow the main force of King Yàn to the south.
Halfway through, Zhu Gaoxu re-deployed his command and transferred a total of 800 cavalry of the two-storm power to the central army, and he was directly commanded.Zhang Wu and two thousand households each commanded two cavalry and eight hundred cavalry.
Zhu Gaoxu also ordered Veda to take over the military positions of thousands of households and lead the King of the Kings.After this adjustment, Zhu Gaoxu reported to King Yàn after the army re-camped.
The generals complained about this, and their private complaints also came to Zhu Gaoxu's ears one after another.
But Zhu Gaoxu planned to walk all the way to the dark... It would be better than that night when everyone couldn't find each other and rushed up randomly to mess around?
The army marched forward in a mighty manner on the plain, with flags as spectacular as clouds.
At this time, the weather is clear and cool, and it is a good time for the battlefield.
But Zhu Gaoxu was depressed along the way, and his generals were dissatisfied. He barely maintained the situation because of his status as a prince.
That night, the army set up camp on the spot, and the king summoned all the generals to the Central Army to discuss matters.
At this time, the army was not far from the Hutuo River.Zhu Gaoxu rode his horse all the way to the central army, and then guessed that he would fight again!
Zhu Gaoxu was worried and thought to himself: This time he was fighting against Geng Bingwen, a veteran of the battlefield left by Taizu, probably a tough battle. If he performed poorly and cheated his father at a critical moment, what should he do?
He grew muscles, but at this moment he felt that he didn't like the military generals.
As expected, he arrived at the Central Army camp.King Yàn immediately began to deploy the battle!
King Yàn pointed to the south with his big hand and said: Geng Bingwen's entire army has crossed the Hutuo River...
After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu immediately worshiped his father very much, and he was really sure!?
King Yàn said again: tomorrow morning, my infantry and cavalry will approach the front, and the official army will embrace the city and form a formation.If I attack the elite cavalry in front of me, I will surround my back and attack the side of the formation along the city, and I will inevitably break the formation!At that time, I personally led the army to attack and defeated Geng Bingwen in one battle!
All the generals worshipped: Yàn Wang Yingming and Divine Martial Arts!
King Yàn turned to see Zhu Gaoxu and said: Gaoxu, you and Zhang Yu are the bravest. You will be the vanguard and rushing cavalry tomorrow morning.
Zhu Gaoxu gritted his teeth and held a military salute with Zhang Yu and said: My son (the last general) got the order!
King Yàn said again: After Gao Xu and Zhang Yu arrive at Zhending, go around his back, Gao Xu hits the west side, and Zhang Yu hits the east side, be sure to shake the formation!
Get order!
Zhu Gaoxu received the military order. After returning to the left guard camp, he waited until the evening to summon military generals of the deputy, over 1,000 households, and conveyed the military order.In case of military aircraft leaking secrets, otherwise the person who is unlucky will still be the one who plays the striker.
After the generals left, Zhu Gaoxu found Liu Ying, who was captured, and talked with him at night.When asked how Liu Ying's official army formed a formation and what its characteristics were, Zhu Gaoxu asked various questions and took a pen to take notes.
For a moment, he seemed to have returned to the exam in his previous life. Because he was not serious and knew nothing, he could only cram and stay up late to read books and take notes.
But now it is different. Zhu Gaoxu feels that he is very serious and still has no idea... Now someone has muttered behind his back, if there is another mistake, how can Zhang Wu, a thousand-family family, criticize him tomorrow?
King Yàn was promoted to the hall in the lobby of the prefecture government office, and ordered the generals to settle the camp and go to the lobby to discuss matters.
Zhu Gaoxu's left escort headquarters circled a piece of land on Fuqian Street and set up a camp. Wang Bin and others chose a house, and more than 200 people accompanied Zhu Gaoxu to live in it.
