Chapter 1304 Good news or bad news(1/2)
Zhu Zhen was dissatisfied. I was the one who clearly proposed the cross-river campaign, so why should I stay in Beilin Province to clean up this mess?
When the Battle of Crossing the River is successful, the world will remember the two great martial emperors for their brilliance and martial prowess. Who will still remember Zhu Zhen?
The rivalry between father and son has begun!
Unwilling to be reconciled, Zhu Zhen began to make arrangements to build momentum. It was actually him who proposed and planned the battle across the river. He also proposed ideas such as connecting the boats together and laying flat decks on them to eliminate the discomfort of the soldiers.
To put it simply, the success of the Battle across the River was entirely due to his ability and had nothing to do with anyone else.
He was prepared and arranged everything so that he could win even if he let a dog pass.
Zhu Zhen wants to take back his own merits!
This matter has been spread throughout the army.
And today, Zhu Zhen is going to throw another big bombshell to confirm his achievements!
Of course, you can't say this yourself, you have to borrow it from him. Zuoqiu is the person he arranged in advance.
Seeing that he had attracted everyone's attention, Zuoqiu said, "Have you ever heard of Yu Wenxiong?"
"Yu Wenxiong?"
"The chief instructor of the Daning Jiangwu Hall. When Dakang was a general in the previous dynasty, Emperor Yuanwu was defeated by him."
"Didn't he encounter a siege and then take the risk to break out?"
Everyone was talking a lot, and they had obviously heard of Yu Wenxiong's name.
"Could it be that the person Zuo Shenjun mentioned just now is Yu Wenxiong?"
One person echoed.
This person was also a general, and he pretended to be surprised, but in fact he was someone who had made arrangements in advance.
Praising and teasing are indispensable.
"General Yue is right, the enemy general recruited by His Highness is Yu Wenxiong!"
Zuoqiu said: "You don't know, His Highness has already planned this matter..."
He stood up and walked to the field and began to talk in detail.
Why did the Secret Academy have already detected and paid attention to it for two years? Why did His Highness work so hard for this? The most important thing is that Yu Wenxiong can bring Daning's artillery to Liang Guo!
Zuoqiu's words are extravagant, and he also adds qualifying words from time to time. Zhu Zhen worked hard for Liang Guo, and his image is extremely tall and majestic.
"Okay, what are you talking about?"
Zhu Zhen said loudly: "As the Prince of Daliang, isn't it right for me to do these things?"
Extremely hypocritical!
Fan Rong almost wanted to leave.
But this is Liang Jun's territory, and there are some things that can't be said.
"Although His Highness is in Beilin, he is commanding the overall situation and has already made arrangements. Yu Wenxiong will surrender during the Battle of Crossing the River..."
Zuoqiu explained it in detail again.
In fact, what he said was correct, these were indeed Zhu Zhen's arrangements.
Everyone suddenly realized that there was so much inside information and that His Highness had paid so much!
A sound of admiration followed.
"Your Highness is worthy of being the God of War!"
"Your Highness's achievements are as high as the sky, and now our army has achieved outstanding results. Isn't this a sign that His Highness has commanded appropriately?"
"It seems that the success of the Battle across the River is entirely due to His Highness."
There was a flood of compliments.
There were many generals present, but some were silent.
The seemingly harmonious atmosphere actually has a big problem. What the generals just said was too presumptuous. They only mentioned the crown prince's meritorious service, but did not mention His Majesty at all.
This is of course not normal.
The prince is the prince and the emperor is the emperor.
"Fan Cang, why don't you speak?"
Zhu Zhen turned to Fan Cang, causing the whole scene to become cold instantly.
It seemed like a casual inquiry, but it was more like forcing him to take a stand.
Fan Cang hesitated slightly.
He doesn't want to get involved in any of this shit!
He knew very well that the father and son, His Majesty and His Highness, were no longer as close as before, but cracks were beginning to appear!
When did it start?
It was probably His Majesty who took advantage of the opportunity and withdrew His Highness's military power, and later made His Highness take the blame, leaving the mess of Beilin Province to His Highness, and causing His Highness to bear the infamy.
Fan Cang didn't know what His Majesty's intentions were, but he knew that His Majesty had already harbored grudges in his heart.
Now there is a situation where father and son are competing for credit.
Fan Cang didn't know how to answer.
He is a direct descendant of His Highness the Crown Prince, and the border troops are privately called the Crown Prince's private army.
The most powerful army in Daliang was controlled by the prince.
If he had put it in the past, he would have expressed his stance without hesitation because he was a princeling, but since what happened, he no longer thinks so.
It should be said that a scene touched him...
Because the Liang army crossed the border wantonly and attempted to attack Daning, Daning later attracted 100,000 barbarian cavalry, and Liang was forced to cede territory and pay compensation.
This was originally initiated by Prince Zhu Zhen and was his responsibility, but in the end it fell on the third prince, Prince Qi Zhu Zhen.
The blame for the crime was borne by him, and the compensation and land ceding also passed through his hands.
Before the agreement was reached, Daning's army came in force.
King Qi Zhu Zhen asked Liang Jun to retreat, but he went to negotiate with the enemy alone.
He is a rebel!
He will never forget that back view!
Soldiers should be pure.
Only then did Fan Cang understand this truth.
"What? Don't you have any ideas?"
Zhu Zhen asked again, this time it was probably a question.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Fan Cang, and the atmosphere was silent and depressing.
At this moment, a general walked in hurriedly from outside.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty has sent a battle report from Shangshui County, Wei State."
"Shangshui County?"
Hearing this, Zhu Zhen didn't bother to question Fan Cang. He immediately realized that this was good news!
"Good news!"
General Zuoqiu said in surprise: "This must be good news for the successful battle across the river!"
"Yes, according to time calculation, the good news should come by this time!"
Everyone was pleasantly surprised.
"General Fan Rong, there is another copy sent to you by Emperor Wu of Wei."
"oh?"
Fan Rong was also pleasantly surprised.
"Bring it here quickly."
Zhu Zhen spoke immediately.
The two battle reports were delivered to Zhu Zhen and Fan Rong respectively, and they quickly opened them.
They all knew the good news was coming.
The battle across the river is a must-win battle.
Everyone else also showed expectant looks.
But Zhu Zhen was immediately stunned, and then in disbelief!
"impossible!"
