LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 72
Ming Dynasty, Yongle period.
Zhu Di looked at his high-spirited self and couldn't help laughing:
"Haha, so what if it is Geng Bingwen, a famous general of the generation? In the end, wasn't he still killed by me and was completely disgraced?"
"Outnumbered and outnumbered, I personally took the lead in the charge and killed two formations in a row."
"Those are the brothers who followed me through bloody battles, charged into battle, and survived. How strong are they? How could I not know?"
"Without this confidence, do you think I dare to confront Geng Bingwen head-on? Dream on!!"
"It's really because I know the bravery of the Northern Army that I want to take them with me to let those soft-footed shrimps in the south learn a lot."
Seeing Zhu Di start to brag about his past again, the three brothers Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu, and Zhu Gaosui looked at each other and planned to flatter the old man.
"Grandpa is mighty!!"
But before the three of them spoke, a young man next to them stole the limelight. This man was Zhu Di's great grandson, Zhu Zhanji.
"Even Tiandao said that grandpa was the best general in the world. Grandpa was well-deserved for his title as the Ming God of War!"
"Hahaha."
When Zhu Di heard Zhu Zhanji's praise, he burst into laughter again. Zhu Di benefited greatly from Tiandao's evaluation.
But after laughing for a while, Zhu Di sighed with regret and said:
"There are countless famous generals in our dynasty, and none of them are easy to achieve in founding the country. Defeating Geng Bingwen is actually not a big deal."
"A military commander more powerful than Geng Bingwen, in the Hongwu Dynasty, he captured a lot of them"
"Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Li Wenzhong, Feng Sheng, Lan Yu, among these people, which one is not a battle-hardened and invincible general?"
"If they were alive, I wouldn't be ranked at all."11
"It's a pity that they are all dead."
Heroes cherish heroes. Zhu Di was full of regret for the death of these war gods, but in his sigh, besides regret, there was also a trace of happiness.
Because if these people did not die, Zhu Di thought that he had no confidence at all. Able to successfully rebel.
Not to mention anything else, Zhu Di felt extremely troublesome with just Lan Yu.
In addition to the gap in ability, if Lan Yu was alive, he would bring the capital's 500,000 elite elite troops with less than 100,000. The strength of the army is simply impossible to compete with.
After all, Lan Yu is not the idiot Li Jinglong.
Zhu Di is still thinking about it, but Zhu Gaoxu has already shouted and said:
"These people died well. If they didn't die, where would we be able to get ahead?"
"It is precisely because these people are dead that our family can conquer the world. Otherwise, it would not be our family's turn to dominate the world."
Seeing Zhu Gaoxu's generous appearance, Zhu Di was so angry that he immediately shouted:
"Damn it, shut up"
"Wei Guogong is your grandfather, and you are so stupid to say such things."
Zhu Gaoxu was scolded and did not dare to speak loudly, but he still whispered:
"It turns out that if my grandfather doesn’t die, our whole family will be beheaded."
"You don’t think you’re better than grandpa, do you?"
A blue vein popped up on Zhu Di's forehead, and he immediately wanted to teach Zhu Gaoxu a lesson. Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly hid behind Zhu Gaochi, and played eagle-catching chickens with Zhu Di. In the Tang Dynasty, during the Taizong period of the Tang Dynasty
"Will the vassal king raise an army to seize the throne as his second son?"
Ever since he started taking stock of Zhu Di, Li Shimin has been very concerned about Zhu Di's timing, because he felt that this person seemed familiar. It wasn't until he saw Zhu Di raising troops to quell Jingnan that he suddenly realized, isn't this the replica of himself?
Zhu Di, the Yongle Emperor , Ming Taizong!!!
What do these titles mean? Being named the great emperor, this Zhu Di is definitely not simple. Therefore, Li Shimin pays special attention to Zhu Di's past.
Because he is also in the wrong position, and he also wants to be punished by heaven in the future. Take the name of the Great Emperor to prove your merits
"Pharmacist, what do you think of Zhu Di's military strategy?"
Li Shimin looked at an old man over fifty years old and asked softly. This man was the Ming Dynasty's military god, Li Jing and pharmacist Li.
Li Jing's somewhat cloudy eyes moved slightly, and then he replied:
"Report to Your Majesty, I can’t see it"
"oh? what for?"
"In Zhu Di's battle, I did not see any military strategy."
Li Jing said slowly:
"It's just that I can see that Zhu Di is a man who manages the army in a strict manner and has excellent military capabilities."
"Moreover, he is brave and good at fighting, and dares to take the lead and lead the army to charge. It can be seen that this person is very confident in his own force."
"Whether he is a good commander or not, I dare not say for sure, but he is definitely an outstanding general."
Li Shimin nodded. At this moment, he thought of himself.
In the battle at Hulao Pass in Luoyang, didn't he himself go into battle wearing armor and lead 3,000 black-armored cavalry to capture two kings in one battle?
This Zhu Di was so brave, so different from himself How similar they are
"Then you say, Zhu Di can finally fight all the way to Yingtian, Qingjun side, Jingguo is in trouble?"
Li Shimin asked again.
This time, Li Jing's face showed a rare expression of embarrassment.
After thinking about it for a moment, Li Jing slowly gave his answer:
"difficult"
"Tiandao said that Geng Bingwen, as the Marquis of Changxing, had been stationed in Changxing for more than ten years. Zhang Shicheng fought hundreds of times but could not capture Changxing."
"This shows that Geng Bingwen has rich experience in defending the city, as evidenced by Zhu Di's fierce attack on Zhending and his inability to break Zhending." (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
"Once Zhu Di forces his troops under the fortified city, sooner or later his morale will be exhausted. At that time, Zhu Di's Yan army will most likely disperse."
"Although Zhu Di pretended to be a Qing emperor, everyone could see that he was raising an army to rebel. The emperor was still Zhu Yunwen, and the court still had a righteous name."
"In addition, Zhu Di only had a small territory, and he was no match for the imperial court in terms of grain, grassland, and population."
"The reason why these Yan troops have not fled yet is because of Zhu Di's prestige and the confidence brought by Lien Zhan and Lianjie, so they are willing to follow Zhu Di all the time."
"If the attack cannot be conquered for a long time, Zhu Di's prestige will be damaged, and the morale of the Yan army will fall to the bottom, then Zhu Di's doom will come."
"I have just made countless deductions, but I still can't imagine how Zhu Di conquered the world and became the Yongle Emperor in this situation?"
"Unless Geng Bingwen makes a major mistake, or Zhu Di has reinforcements willing to help him, but even so, Zhu Di's hope of winning is still too slim."
"Because Zhu Yunwen's strength is too strong, with millions of troops, endless food and grass, and 90% of the country's land and population. In such a situation, I don't know how to lose."
"Perhaps Zhu Di was really a peerless general. He was invincible all the way, broke through Zhending, penetrated the two Huaihe lines of defense, and finally crossed the Yangtze River without any naval troops and broke through the fortified city of Yingtian."
Li Shimin was convinced. When Zhu Di was reluctant to raise troops, Li Shimin was also planning in his mind. Zhu Di had a 10% chance of winning this time.
After deducing the results, Li Shimin found that Zhu Di's winning rate was less than 10%.
With Zhu Yunwen's strength, even if If another fool had gone up, Zhu Di would have no chance of winning.
To fight against the world with a small area and to seize the world, such a task is too difficult. Even Zhuge Liang could not do it at the time, not to mention there were fewer troops and less territory. Where is Zhu Di?
This is also the reason why Li Shimin chose to launch a mutiny at Xuanwu Gate, because this is the least difficult way. If he really wants to enter Hebei and raise troops to rebel, he may not be able to predict his life or death in the end. Even he may not be able to do it. Things were accomplished with Zhu Di.
It was in such a desperate situation that Zhu Di counterattacked from King Yan to become Emperor Yongle. This made Li Shimin even more interested in Zhu Di's experience.
"In such a situation, it is incredible that Zhu Di was able to make a comeback from a desperate situation."
"I can't figure out how he did it. In that case, let's wait and see."
"Then look down and you will always know the result."
723 [Zhu Di knew the importance of true determination. If he wanted to go south to expand his victory, Zhu Di had to break through true determination and pull out this nail to ensure that he would have no worries.】
【Therefore, Zhu Di personally supervised the battle, and a hundred thousand troops stormed Zhending City day and night, using all siege methods.】
【Digging tunnels, attacking the city with artillery, persuading surrender, rushing vehicles, and siege the city. These methods were used in turn, but Zhending City was not moved at all.】
【Defending a city is Geng Bingwen's forte. He has secured the city for more than ten years in the first half of his life. There is no one in the world who knows better than him how to defend a city.】
【Because of this, no matter what method Zhu Di used, Geng Bingwen could always find the most appropriate way to defend. No matter how violent Zhu Di attacked, Geng Bingwen sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and remained unmoved.】
【The siege battle lasted for more than half a month, and Zhu Di was about to collapse. The victorious army of 100,000 people could not win a city that was defended by less than 10,000 people.】
【Zhu Di attacked bravely, but Geng Bingwen gradually stabilized his position. He was determined to fight Zhu Di to the end.】
【He is very smart and understands that as long as he holds on here, the Yan army will gradually disintegrate sooner or later, and then they will be able to defeat themselves, because after all, these people are rebels】
【If they cannot win all the time, their hearts will become scattered and they will eventually become a piece of loose sand.】
【This is Zhu Di's weakness. Zhu Di himself understands it, and Geng Bingwen also understands it, and he is planning to use this to defeat the Yan army.】
【However, a dispute between the DPRK and China broke Geng Bingwen's fantasy. Zhu Di will also face his biggest crisis since he started his army.】.......The dividing line..
