Warring States Call

Chapter 1805 One thousand eight hundred and seven: Northward

Xia Jie put away the knife and put his hands together, casually took out the cloth towel in his arms, wiped the blood in his hands, and slapped Wu Jianzhang's headless corpse. Xia Jie stared at Yang Ye with eyes like jackals, and clapped his hands immediately, He just walked towards the back without paying attention to Yang Ye. In Xia Jie's view, a veteran like Yang Ye is still a useless miscellaneous general. It's better to see if there is any fish that slipped through the net and get some credit.

In this battle, it was cheaper for Xia Jie. Yu Wencheng spared the three brothers of the Wu family with a heart of pity, but it became a stepping stone for Xia Jie. The news of the brother reached Zhu Yuanzhang's ears in a few days.

At this time, Gusu City was shrouded in darkness, and the air was full of austerity.

In the Gusu palace, Zhu Yuanzhang was looking at the battle report in his hand, and there was a shivering scout kneeling below him. Zhu Yuanzhang's old eyes were bloodshot. At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth, slapped the bamboo slips on the ground, and shouted hysterically: "Trash! Trash! These three trash!"

Zhu Di looked at the furious Zhu Yuanzhang, picked up the bamboo slips on the ground, glanced up and down, his face was solemn, and quickly calmed down his mood: "Father's current situation is not too bad, at least Huaicheng is not lost! As long as Huaicheng is still there, we The situation is not passive. As long as we block the sea route, it will be difficult to transport the food and grass of Northern Wu. When the time comes, we will storm Yanling and destroy the vanguard of Northern Wu. The morale of the enemy army will be low. We will counterattack! Great things will happen! !"

"Hey!" Zhu Yuanzhang clutched his forehead, looked at the bamboo slips in Zhu Di's hand, and said with a heartbroken heart: "Ah, 2 soldiers and horses, even if the Northern Wu goes south with all its strength, it will take ten and a half months, but look, In just one day, Yanling is gone!"

"It's not the fault of the three generals! After all, the enemy was fighting a surprise attack. It's normal for them to be caught off guard! Right now, my father should hurry up and appease Wu Zixu! It's inevitable that he will send a white-haired man to a black-haired man! Li Shanchang, who was behind Zhu Di, came out, carefully glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang's changing emotions, and acted immediately.

"Comfort me! This Wu Zixu is getting more and more insane! The three sons he gave birth to are all useless, it's not bad if he doesn't punish him alone!" Zhu Di, looking at the bamboo slips in his hand, said half aloud: "Zhu Di, you go there in person to appease Wu Zixu, now the country can't stand the waves! "

"No!" Zhu Di knew that the current Zhu Yuanzhang was not suitable to appease Wu Zixu, so sending himself there now would have the effect of appeasing him.

Zhu Di put his waist down, and immediately greeted Li Shanchang who was behind Zhu Di: "Bring the map, and call Xu Da and Lu Bu along the way!"

"promise!"

In the dark hall, Zhu Yuanzhang stared at the map in front of him with wide eyes, his expression became more and more embarrassing. Now that he wants to fight against the Northern Wu with Han Yi's support, Zhu Yuanzhang can only pin his hopes on the navy army. Most of the Han army is infantry and There are cavalry, but the navy is rare, but Qinghe has Li Wenzhong's [-] elite navy, and Zhu Yuanzhang has passed all the soldiers through the water, almost going ashore as an army and entering the water as a navy.

At this moment, Xu Da and Lu Bu strode into the hall, and they saw the aggressive Zhu Yuanzhang at first glance. Xu Da and Lu Bu strode forward and bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang: "My lord!"

"Well! Come on!" Zhu Yuanzhang forced himself to stabilize his mentality, and immediately said: "The three brothers of the Wu family died in battle! Yanling is gone, and Gu plans to lead the army to the north, take down Northern Wu in one fell swoop, and unify the country. What do you think!"

"My lord! There is not enough food and grass now. If we really go to war, what will happen to the follow-up problems!" Xu Da's expression froze. Once the food and grass were gone during the march and battle, everything would be like moonlight in the water, and the bamboo basket would be empty.

"There's nothing to be afraid of! With Fang Tian's painted halberd in my hand, I'm afraid that Northern Wu will fail to catch some villains!" Lu Bu was still as arrogant as before, with his arms folded on his chest, standing at a height of nine feet. In front of several people, it is like an iron tower.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also almost choked to death by Xu Da's words, rubbed his temples immediately, and said solemnly: "This is not what you are worried about. You know the location of Yanling. Without this portal, if it appears again Du Yu, I can't afford it!"

Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to go north in three or four years, but Han Qi was a bit deceitful. He directly took Yanling, which was equivalent to pulling out a tiger's beard. How could Zhu Yuanzhang let him be presumptuous? Fighting, as for the problem of food and grass, he can borrow it from Xiang Guo and Gou Jian. Anyway, there are more ways than difficulties!
Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's firm eyes, Xu Da knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had made up his mind and that a war was inevitable. Xu Da looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said half aloud: "Yanling can be fought, but after the fight, we can't fight." Go north!"

"General Xu Da! You can't help building up other people's ambitions and destroying your own prestige!" Lu Bu was a little annoyed by Xu Da's timid character. The commander was always timid, and he didn't have the momentum to go forward at all, which was very different from Lu Bu's fighting style.

"Why!" Zhu Yuanzhang was much wiser than the rough Lu Bu. Xu Da pointed to the map and said, "Beiwu has a lot of soldiers and horses, with Han Yi behind them. We are no match for them in a protracted war. We need to regain our vitality, so after taking Yanling, we will encourage farming! To restore our national strength, we will go north in one fell swoop when the north changes! What do you think, my lord?"

"Let's take down Yanling first!" Zhu Yuanzhang let out a long breath, glanced at Xu Da, and said after a while: "Send troops. [-]!"

What Zhu Yuanzhang said was a little embarrassing. In the past, one hundred thousand and one hundred thousand were paid out, but now he can't even make up one hundred thousand. It can be said that there is no way!

Xu Da scratched his hair, glanced at the direction of Yanling, and said indifferently: "The troops are divided into two groups! One way, 5 horses, besieged Yanling, but did not attack, and the other 3 horses marched towards Huaicheng Let Li Wenzhong patrol the Qinghe River day and night, and if the enemy dares to cross the river to transport food, he will be killed!"

"Yes! I will leave the soldiers and horses besieging Yanling to you! As for the other [-] navy troops, I will leave it to Lu Bu! It just so happens that Wen Zhong doesn't have any strong generals, so I will send Ying Bu and Ji Bu to help you!" Zhu Yuanzhang Putting his hands on his waist, he took out the Tiger Talisman from his pocket and handed it to the two of them.
