Time has entered the fourth year of Jianwen, and the war situation in the north has become even more incomprehensible.
In the past three years, the battles between the northern and southern armies were mainly concentrated in the two provinces of Heshan and Shandong.
However, in terms of the results of the battle, the Yan army has been fighting for three years, and there has been little progress, and their iron cavalry has always been in Shandong and Hebei, and the imperial court soldiers have won many victories, even if the defeat is fierce, they can replenish the troops and supplies at any time, so that the northern army is unable to attack.
Due to the limited territory of the Northern Army, most of the supplies came from the war captures, they could not afford to raise too many soldiers, and the total strength was always maintained at about 150,000 or 60,000, which made them have the ability to fight in the field, but they did not have enough troops to disperse and defend the various cities they conquered.
Therefore, in the past three years, although they have taken down many cities such as Shunde, Guangping, and Daimyo, they have been spinning and losing, either giving up on their own initiative, or being recaptured by the imperial court's soldiers and horses, and those who can always be firmly in the hands of the Yan army are only Beiping, Baoding, and Yongping.
On the surface, the Yan army did not take any advantage, but the imperial court knew its own affairs, but they knew how much the imperial court had lost in the past three years of hard fighting, the treasury was empty, the servants had been recruited more than millions of times, and all the troops that could be mobilized had been put into the northern battlefield, and they could no longer come up with money to raise troops, nor did they have enough troops to supplement the needs of the northern battlefield.
Even the 400,000 capital garrison troops that were originally waiting for Jinling City and could not be transferred out without being moved by thunder have been quietly transferred out of 100,000 by them and put them on the northern battlefield.
Now Qi Tai and Wang Shuying are recruiting troops and raising grain in Guangde, Huang Zicheng and Yao Shan are recruiting troops and raising grain in Suzhou, and Lian Zining, Huang Guan and Ma Meiyin are going to Hangzhou and other places to raise grain and grass and recruit soldiers.
In this case, how many military affairs need to be dealt with, but the genius emperor Zhu Yunwen somehow remembered the fifth uncle Zhu Hulai, who was exiled to Yunnan by him to be Taishan of the apes.
The king of Xiang's family, the king of Qi was imprisoned in Fengyang Prison, the acting king was imprisoned in Sichuan, and the king of Ning rebelled with the king of Yan.
This is too unsafe, in case King Yan sends someone to Yunnan to rescue him, and the three princes call for the world to be martyred, wouldn't it be even more powerful So, Zhu Yunwen hurriedly issued an edict, and his fifth uncle Zhu Hu hurriedly returned to Beijing from Yunnan with 100,000 yuan, found a place in Jinling City to detain him, and watched it under his nose, so that he could rest assured.
When Zhu Yunwen "had no last resort" and took precautions to change his fifth uncle from exile to detention and imprisonment, what was his "Wolong" Mr.
Xizhi doing?
He reformed and refined the official rank system during the Hongwu Dynasty, and formulated the number of civil honors, the number of military ranks, the number of civil officials, the number of military officials, the number of civil officials, the number of military officials, etc., and so on, and presented them to the emperor, issued an edict to the world, and implemented them immediately.
These two out of tune were still at war in the north when the two of them were busy with their ideas.
The Yan army sent troops again after the New Year, and even captured Dong'e, Dongping, Wenshang, Yanzhou, Jiyang and other places.
The rebellious general Sheng Yong also retreated step by step, and the lack of soldiers and money and food in the imperial court has begun to be reflected on the battlefield.
In this case, the concert of inviting soldiers and food flew to the capital like snowflakes, and the emperor Zhu Yunwen, who was not in tune, and the prime minister Fang Xiaoru, who was not in tune, became nervous, and who to send to relieve the siege of Shandong The two of them discussed and discussed, and they really couldn't find a handsome talent available, and finally thought of Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei.
Although Xu Huizu and Fang Xiaoru did not form a family of children and daughters, but in the period of contact between the two sides, they finally had some friendship with each other, which was much stronger than the two sides were not familiar with each other before.
Since the localities have already been unable to draw troops and horses, it is not allowed to draw troops and horses from the localities in terms of time.
Fang Xiaoru also offered a plan to draw another 100,000 troops from the army of the garrison Beijing Division and take it to Shandong by Xu Huizu.
Of course, the army must be assigned to supervise the army and have the ultimate right to command the army.
This is first-class top-secret news, and when troops and horses are drawn from the Beijing camp, Nanjing will be empty.
Because the grain and grass in Fanpei County were burned before, they also knew that there were Yan Wang's eyes and ears in the Jingshi, so this news was top secret, and no one had told them except for the two of them.
Xu Huizu has not yet arrived in Shandong, Zhu Di has already thrown down the Jinan city, swaggered from the city of Jinan, all the way to attack the city, and soon killed Pei County, and then go to Xuzhou, and cross the Yellow River is the capital of Fengyang.
For a while, Sheng Yong, Ping'an, He Fu, Chen Hui and other generals panicked and rushed to rush one after another, blocking and chasing after each other, and it was important to let King Yan stop on the bank of the Yellow River.
Seeing that the southern armies from all walks of life were coming, and his eldest brother Xu Huizu led the troops to meet him, Zhu Di made a strategic detour and moved all the way to the area of the Xianghe River and Lingbi.
He Fu was in the deep trench of Lingbi, and wanted to fight a protracted battle with King Yan, repeat his old tricks, and consume King Yan back to Beiping.
Seeing this, Zhu Di went to intercept his grain and prevent the grain and grass from reaching Lingbi, this time He Fu was cocooned and self-bound, he didn't dare to go to war, and he didn't have food if he didn't fight, so he had to send someone to Ping'an for help.
Ping'an led the troops to He Fu to relieve the siege, but was defeated by the king of Yan with the elite iron cavalry of Duoyan Sanwei as the vanguard, and the army of Ping An was cut into two and killed in sections.
Anyway, he rescued the embarrassed Ping'an and other generals back to the cottage.
Zhu Di didn't attack, just confronted him at the bottom of the mountain.
Encircling the point to send reinforcements, this is a good method that has been tried and tested since ancient times.
There was already a shortage of food on the mountain, and suddenly there was a team of defeated soldiers who came to the rescue, and the soldiers on the mountain drank porridge, which was so rare that it could be used as a mirror.
Seeing that this was not the way to go, He Fu discussed with Ping'an and others, and decided that instead of sitting and waiting to be killed, it was better to forcibly break through the siege, move to the Huai River area, and move grain from nearby states and counties.
The generals had decided on a plan, and immediately issued an order to the whole army, saying that they would take the three-sound cannon as an order, and when they heard the sound of the cannons, they immediately rushed out of the cottage and broke through in the direction of the Huai River.
In one camp, the flag officer turned to leave after announcing the commander's order, and the two soldiers winked at each other and quietly stepped aside.
These two people, one is called Dongfang Liang, the other is called Yue Junhong, the battle of Baigou River, it was this Yue Junhong who brought down the Shuai Qi, so that Li Jinglong, who had the upper hand, was defeated, and then the two were awarded the General Banner and the Hundred Households respectively for their merits, but they finally entered the side of the officers and soldiers, so the two of them have been ordered to lurk here.
"Brother Dongfang, tomorrow is going to break through" "I know" Dongfang Liang put his hands on his hands, rubbed his nose with his jacket sleeves, and looked around with his eyes rolling: "Your Highness, in order to prevent the night attack of the Southern Army, the place where the camp is not close, if you break through the siege, the Southern Army will be able to escape at least half of it."
Since I have been a personal soldier by Li Jinglong's side for a few days, in the past year, our brothers have followed Tie Xuan first, then Sheng Yong, and then Ping'an. ” The two men looked at each other, laughed twice, and walked side by side.
"We are pests, we are moths, we hide in the most hidden corners, revealing the most harmless appearance, silently, eating away at the beams and pillars of the master's house, and a gust of wind comes and makes it collapse with a bang, and we don't know what is happening."
Early the next morning, all the soldiers and horses on the village got up one after another, lit the fire to cook, prepared to break through after a full meal, the soldiers and horses of each battalion were assembled one after another, only a small part was assembled, and the three horn cannons of "chattering" suddenly sounded, echoing in the valley for a long time.
The officers and men of each battalion were stunned: "The breakthrough has begun" There are already assembled troops reacted relatively quickly, and immediately ran to the camp gate first, and the slow people also understood that they wanted to break through under the pursuit of the cavalry of the Yan army, what a dangerous thing it was, and those who fell behind would have to be captured if they were not hacked to death, so they didn't care about gathering around the chief officer anymore, everyone rushed to be the first, and moved forward bravely, just rushing to the gate of the village.
Naturally, the senior generals clearly knew that they had not yet issued the order to break out, but at this time, no matter how they shouted hoarsely, they could not stop the soldiers who bombed the battalion.
Outside the mountain col, Zhu Di stood on the hillside, with a squat artillery under his feet, the scarlet cloak fluttered with the mountain wind, like a red cloud, seeing the Southern soldiers pouring out like a tide, Zhu Di smiled slightly, and indifferently ordered: "Let half of it out, and then get stuck in the mountain pass" This battle, if this battle is also considered a war, will soon be over.

More than 150 people, including 37 generals including Ping'an, civil officials and eunuchs of the supervising army, were captured alive.
Originally, they knew that they had not yet ordered a breakthrough, so they were also the ones who stayed at the rear, so they were naturally caught in the urn.
Especially Ping'an, since Ping'an fought with the Yan army, he has been brave and fierce, winning more and losing less, and his capture made the Yan army thunderous.
Two pests, again meritorious service In the southwest of Yingtianfu in Nanjing, at the junction with Dangtu County of Taiping Prefecture, there is a Cimu Mountain, which is also called by the locals as Cimu Mountain and Mao'er Mountain.
The mountain is not too high, more than 50 zhang, the stones are near the river, the bank wall is exquisite, and the scenery is beautiful.
There is a kind of cinnamon bamboo abundant in the mountain, which can be used to make a flute, and the sound of the hole flute made is rich and mellow, loud and far-reaching, and it is famous all over the world.
Not far from the bottom of the mountain is an official road passing through the southwest direction of Cimu Mountain, and the business travel on the road is endless.
Not far from the official road, there is a small mountain villa near the mountain, twenty or thirty families, rely on fishing, ferrying, and setting up tea stalls on the roadside for a living, and occasionally there are people who go up the mountain to cut down old bamboos and send them to the city to sell in the music store, which can only make extra money, and it is not a long-term solution.
The family at the head of the village is surnamed Chen.
Granny Chen, who is over 60 years old, is sitting in her small courtyard and talking to two girls sitting on small horses.
The two girls are only fourteen or fifteen years old, one is wearing a red jacket, and it looks like she has just opened her face for a long time.
This girl is the granddaughter of Granny Chen, named Bai Xianxian, who has been married for three days, and has just returned to the door with her new aunt today.
Another little girl is dressed rustic, and her hairstyle is also rustic, but her facial features are very delicate, not at all as rustic as she is dressed up.
But this is not surprising, there is no mother at home, and it is normal for a little girl to be sloppy with the two big men of the uncle and the second uncle.
This little girl's name is Xia Jing, is the girl of Granny Chen's neighbor's house, the neighbor originally had only one man, from Henan, lived here for almost a year, and then asked Granny Chen's eldest son to help, introduced a job as a loader in the quarry, usually not a big family, last month his brother brought Xia Jing also came here, it is said that the hometown suffered a flood.
"Poor thing, this Yellow River just doesn't stop, in the future, let's live on the edge of the Yangtze River," said Granny Chen, who eats by water.
The two families soon became acquainted, and Xia Jing often came to Granny Chen's house to visit the house, and became very good friends with Bai Xianxian.
Three days ago, Bai Xianxian got married, and now that she is back in the door, she naturally wants to come to see her best friend.
Granny Chen taught her granddaughter while holding the soles of her shoes: "When you get married, you must understand the rules, no matter who comes before or after, you must have the appearance of a daughter-in-law."
Look at you, what is the benefit of calling one by one, that is your man, can you call it like that, so that people can not laugh at it when they hear it, our Bai family has no tutor. ” Bai Xian pouted and said, "Isn't there no outsider?"
” "It can't be done without outsiders" Xia Jing blinked her eyes and interjected and asked, "Granny Chen, what should I call it?"
” Granny Chen said: "No matter who has come before or after, you should be a man for yourself" As soon as he said this, someone in the house shouted: "Old woman, old woman, what about my gown, my uncle is here, I have to go and get some wine." ” "This old immortal" Granny Chen stood up and shouted into the house as she walked: "Can't you see such a big gown, it's almost hanging under your nose?"
Bai Xianxian and Xia Jing glanced at each other, stuck out their tongues, and laughed together.
"Ah, my uncle is back" Crossing the low wall and seeing two people walking on the path from the official road to the village, Xia Jing suddenly jumped up and shouted quickly.
The two people who came over, one of them, Bai Xianxian, also recognized him, he was Xia Jing's second uncle Xia Youcai, with two slight mustaches on his lips, a very handsome uncle.
That's it, when Bai Xian had a spring dream, he also dreamed that he had become Xia Jing's second aunt.
She didn't recognize the other one, although she was also wearing short brown and straw sandals, holding her trouser legs, and dressed like a countryman, but she knew twenty or thirty families in the village, and she had never seen this person.
This person walked, sometimes looking back left and right, but his shoulders did not move, Bai Xianxian remembered what the storyteller said, looking at things like this is called eagle looking at the wolf, and the elephant of destroying the male, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and laughed: "It's better to compare and go, or to see the second uncle Xia."
Thinking of her half-grown husband He Yi, who was the same age as herself, the little girl couldn't help but sigh softly again.
