Chapter 637 Xuzhou
Upon hearing this, the other princes and nobles looked at Zhu Di with a mixture of amazement and admiration. This guy was indeed skilled at manipulating people's hearts, at least much better than his nephew Yunwen!
Nephew, you lost, and it's not unfair!
At this moment, Zhu Yunwen, who didn't want to say anything, simply said: "..."
"Look at that! Judy's speech was so well-done. It was incredibly exciting and exhilarating, a real killer move. Right now, they have no idea that in just a few months, they'll be facing the final hurdle!"
"In short, nephew, if you lose again, just wait for your fourth uncle to come and get you!"
Zhu Yunwen (with a forced smile): You talk as if I could win!
"On another note, after the exciting pre-battle mobilization, the Yan army's route south this time was similar to the last time. Perhaps at that time, neither side realized that this would be Judy's last southward campaign, so the Yan army did not head straight for Yingtian to attack the nephew."
"In the two or three months that followed, Zhu Yunwen was not unprepared. For example, he originally wanted Yang Wen to go south to Hefu and Sheng Yong to fight against the Yan army together."
"But unfortunately, Judy came up with this plan and had Gu Cheng set up an ambush beforehand. So when Yang Wen secretly slipped away from Liaodong, he was surrounded and caught."
"Looking at the imperial court's Dezhou and Dingzhou, Jianwen quickly replenished their supplies and recruits, also thinking that Yang Wen had followed Judy and wanted to use him to fight against the Yan army."
"It's obvious that the plan failed, and as mentioned before, Texas and Zhengding are hundreds of miles apart. Back then, it wasn't like now, where you can just sleep and get there."
Judy, the Great General Who Conquers the North: I don't believe it, unless you take me on a ride!
The others: They've got a screw-up!
"Most importantly, the two places are not only far apart, but there are also no brick or stone walls or other barriers in between; it's just a vast, empty wilderness."
"In other words, under these conditions, they can't even defend the city; it will be taken over in no time. Judy was also aware of this, and he found the disadvantages of the Zhen Ding Army and the Dezhou Army."
"So the Yan army, on the one hand, secretly infiltrated through the two places, and on the other hand, Judy also considered that if the imperial army discovered their arrival, they would be divided into two armies, led by Li Yuan and Zhu Neng, respectively targeting Zhengding and Dezhou."
"Judy was right about the imperial army; they sent out scouts to patrol. After all, the two places are far apart, and who knows when the Yan army will appear?"
"So afterwards, the two teams were brutally beaten by the Yan army. Zhu Neng and Li Yuan gave them a good beating and then left to catch up with Judy's main force."
Zhu Yunwen facepalmed. Why did his teammates sound like idiots when they were telling this story?
"Then, the Prince of Yan and his men continued their journey, passing through Guantao, Dongping and other places. Their progress was very fast. The defense of Jining was really weak, and the Yan army was coming on strong. Soon, a large amount of grain and fodder fell into Zhu Di's pocket."
"Upon arriving in Xuzhou, I found the place familiar. Several famous battles had taken place there. When the King of Yan entered Xuzhou, he hid the main force of the Yan army in Jiuli Mountain."
"This mountain is also famous. After the Qin Dynasty fell, it witnessed the struggle between Liu Bang, who founded the Han Dynasty, and Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu. Now, Zhu Di, the Prince of Yan, is here again to fight a decisive battle."
Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty: ??( ? )?? Don't love your uncle, he's just a legend!!!
