Chapter 1807: Northbound
Xia Jie put away his sword and hand, casually took out the cloth scarf from his arms and rubbed the blood in his hand, and slapped Wu Jianzhang's headless corpse. Xia Jie stared at Yang Ye like a jackal. He immediately clapped his palms and walked backwards, not taking Yang Ye seriously. In Xia Jie's opinion, an old general like Yang Ye is still a useless miscellaneous general. It can be seen that his strength is average and he is too lazy to waste his lips and tongue with him. It is better to see if there are any fish that misses the net and make some contributions.
This war was a bargain for Xia Jie. Yuwen Chengdu was willing to cherish talent and let go of the three brothers of the Wu family, but it became a stepping stone for Xia Jie. At this time, Xia Jie was famous and the news of killing the three brothers of the Wu family spread to Zhu Yuanzhang soon.
At this time, Gusu City was shrouded in darkness and the air was filled with a stern smell.
In the Gusu Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang was looking at the battle report in his hand, and there was a trembling scout kneeling below. Zhu Yuanzhang's old eyes were covered with bloodshot. Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth and slapped the bamboo slips on the ground. He shouted hysterically: "Waste! Waste! These three wastes!"
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who was furious and picked up the bamboo slips on the ground, looked up and down, his face was solemn, and he quickly calmed down: "My father's situation is not too bad now, at least Huaicheng has not been lost! As long as Huaicheng is still there, our situation is not passive. As long as we block the sea route, it will be difficult for the Northern Wu to transport the food and grass. At that time, we will attack Yanling and destroy the vanguard army of Northern Wu. The enemy's morale is low, and we will be counterattacking! A big thing can be done!"
"Oh!" Zhu Yuanzhang covered his forehead and looked at the bamboo slips in Zhu Di's hand, feeling heartbroken: "A 20,000 troops, even if the Northern Wu goes south with all his strength, it will take half a month to fight. But look, Yanling will be gone in just one day!"
"It's not the three generals! After all, the enemy was fighting a raid, and they were caught off guard. It's normal! Now my father should hurry up and comfort Wu Zixu! He is a white-haired man who sends black-haired man, and it's inevitable...!" Li Shanchang, behind Zhu Di, walked out, looked carefully at Zhu Yuanzhang's changing emotions, and said now.
"Sosure! Wu Zixu is becoming more and more stupid! The three sons he gave birth to are all useless, so it would be good if he is not punished alone! "Zhu Yuanzhang put his waist on his waist, held his forehead and sweared loudly, looked at Zhu Di on the side, looked at the bamboo slips in his hand, and said for a while: "Zhu Di, you go there in person and comfort Wu Zixu. Now the country can no longer withstand the turmoil!"
"No!" Zhu Di knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was not suitable to appease Wu Zixu now. Now that he sent him to, he would have received the effect of appeasement. There was no need to make the two parted ways.
Zhu Di inserted his waist and greeted Li Shanchang behind Zhu Di, "Come on the map and call Xu Da and Lu Bu by the way!"
"promise!"
In the dark hall, Zhu Yuanzhang widened his eyes and looked at the map, his face becoming increasingly embarrassed. At present, if he wanted to fight against the Northern Wu with Han Yi's support, Zhu Yuanzhang could only place his hope on the navy. Most of the Korean army was infantry and cavalry, but the navy was sparse. Qinghe had Li Wenzhong's 50,000 elite navy troops. In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang passed all the soldiers through the water, almost as a landlord and as a navy.
At this moment, Xu Da and Lu Bu strode into the hall and saw the aggressive Zhu Yuanzhang at first sight. Xu Da and Lu Bu strode forward and saluted Zhu Yuanzhang: "Greetings to the king!"
"Yeah! Come on!" Zhu Yuanzhang forced himself to stabilize his mentality and said immediately: "The three brothers of the Wu family died in battle! Yanling is gone, and I plan to lead the army north to take down Northern Wu in one fell swoop and unify the whole country. What do you think!"
"King! Now there is insufficient food and grass. If we really start a war, what should we do if there is any subsequent problems!" Xu Da's face calmed down. Once the marching and fighting were gone, everything was the moon in the water, and the bamboo basket was empty.
"What's there to be afraid of? With the Fangtian Painted Ridge in my hand, I'm afraid that Beiwu would not be able to take some villains!" Lu Bu was still the arrogant look in the past, holding his hands on his chest, and standing in front of several people at a height of nine feet, like an iron tower.
Zhu Yuanzhang was almost choked to death by Xu Da's words. He rubbed his temples and said with a serious expression: "This is not a problem you are worried about. You know the location of Yanling. Without this portal, if Du Yu appears again, I will be unable to bear it!"
Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to go north in three or four years, but Han Qi was really too slandered and took Yanling directly. This was equivalent to pulling out a tiger's beard. How could Zhu Yuanzhang make him bearded? So he had to fight this battle. As for the issue of food and grass, he could borrow it, and borrow it from Xiang Guo and Goujian. Anyway, the method was always more difficult than it was!
Xu Da looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's firm eyes and knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had made up his mind and had an inevitable battle. Xu Da looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said for a while: "Yanling can fight, but after the fight, we cannot go north!"
"General Xu Da! You will be more ambitious and destroy your own prestige!" Lu Bu was a little tired of Xu Da's timid character. He was always timid in commanding troops, and he had no momentum to move forward. It was very different from Lu Bu's tactics.
"Why!" Compared with the rough Lu Bu, Zhu Yuanzhang was much wiser. Xu Da pointed to the map and said, "There are many soldiers in the North House, and Han Yi is supported by him. In terms of protracted war, we are not their opponents. We need to recover our vitality. So after taking Yanling, we will encourage farming! Restore national strength and wait for the great changes in the north, we will go north in one fell swoop! King, what do you think?"
"Let's take down Yanling first!" Zhu Yuanzhang breathed a long breath, glanced at Xu Da, and said for a while: "Send troops... 80,000!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little embarrassed when he said that he used to pay 100,000 yuan, but now he can't even get 100,000 yuan, so there is nothing he can do about it!
Xu Da scratched his hair, looked at the direction of Yanling, and said indifferently: "The troops were divided into two groups! Along the way, 50,000 troops besieged Yanling, surrounded but did not attack, and another 30,000 troops marched towards Huaicheng, allowing Li Wenzhong to patrol day and night on the Qinghe River. Once the enemy dared to cross the river and transport grain, he would have to kill him!"
