Chapter 631 Judy: What good would it do to take our supplies?!
"Looking at the Zhen Ding Corps, the loss of the two main supply lines of Daming and Guangping has indeed put them under some pressure. In addition, they have suffered another defeat, and their morale has been repeatedly low, with some even deserting."
"However, we haven't reached a dead end yet. After all, even if the main storyline is over, there are still side quests, and Zhu Yunwen isn't the kind of boss who likes to skimp on supplies."
"Therefore, Ping An dispatched cavalry from the Central Army to intercept the Yan Army's grain transport convoy. 'Give it to me!'"
"Right at this critical juncture, the central government, sitting in the rear, heard they'd lost yet another defeat, and everyone was at a loss for words!"
"They send hundreds of thousands of soldiers every time they need them, and it doesn't interfere with their battles. There are no treacherous officials who harm their soldiers. So why can't they defeat the Prince of Yan?"
Some monarchs who had committed the above acts (feeling guilty): ...
"So, Jianwen decided to negotiate with his fourth uncle. Well, Zhu Yunwen had some uncle-nephew relationship with him, but not much. Coincidentally, his fourth uncle was the same! So the two sides reached an agreement happily!"
The people of Wanchao: ? ? ?
In another time and space, Zhu Yunwen happened to meet his fourth uncle's ambiguous gaze. The moment their eyes met, two words were written in each other's eyes: disbelief!
"It's not about reaching a consensus on peace talks, but rather that both sides think that if this ridiculous peace talk could succeed, pigs would fly! And! If this could actually be done, what about all those corpses strewn across the field? They were just unlucky!"
Zhu Yunwen & Zhu Di (mutually disgusted): Tui! Get lost!
"However, the Prince of Yan did talk to Zhu Yunwen a few times, and the gist of it was the same: Will my nephew become emperor? No! Are there treacherous officials and villains around him? Yes! Are the things my uncle is doing for himself? No! Yunwen is not afraid, let your uncle do them!"
"When Zhu Yunwen saw this, he probably smiled on the outside but cursed in his heart. After all, the Prince of Yan is not in a hurry to negotiate, so let's just keep negotiating for now!"
"During this period, neither side was idle, because the Zhen Ding army repeatedly sent out scouts to intercept them, which angered Judy. For example, on one occasion, even Zhang Bin, the commander of the Yan army, was captured."
"But the Yan army also turned the tide once, and even seized the imperial order from the government troops. It turned out that Jianwen planned to have Ping An and the others abandon Zhengding and then join up with Sheng Yong and He Fu in Dezhou."
"When the Prince of Yan saw this, he thought, 'Nephew, you're not being fair! How could you cheat your fourth uncle like that! Since that's the case, don't blame your uncle for teaching you a lesson!'"
Zhu Yunwen: Fourth Uncle, don't talk like you didn't do anything!
"Therefore, Zhu Di set his sights on the grain supplies in Dezhou and sent Li Yuan and others with a group of underlings. They changed their clothes and pretended to be men supplying robes and armor to the government troops."
"No one in Jining, Shahe, Peixian and other places noticed it. The result is very clear: they burned the grain transport ships and cut off Dezhou's food supply!"
"Of course, the government troops weren't stupid. They just watched the grain ships being burned without taking any action, and it wasn't time for them to switch sides yet. Naturally, a battle broke out with the Yan army. The government general in this operation was named Yuan Yu, but he was defeated by Li Yuan."
"After glancing at Li Yuan's battle record, I can see he's truly formidable. Even in the fourth year of the Jianwen Emperor's reign, he fought the government forces again and emerged victorious."
"Since the Central Army has made an effort, then don't blame the Yan Army for accepting it. Judy's move has really hit Texas hard."
"Speaking of which, the Ming Dynasty's canal transport and navy were also very developed. Old Zhu probably learned this lesson from the Battle of Poyang Lake. After Judy became emperor, he also developed navigation."
"By the way, Zheng He also brought back a 'Qilin' (a mythical creature) for Judy from Africa. I was stunned when I first saw this painting!"
Lin Ke fiddled with it for a while, and a painting appeared before everyone's eyes. The animal in the painting was very tall, with a long neck and covered with patterns.
Scholars in other times and spaces still have the impression of the Qilin based on its description in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and have never thought that it is such an animal!
The image of the auspicious beast called Qilin in their hearts changed from that moment on!
Many people only knew that the Qilin was an auspicious beast, but did not know its appearance. Now they can finally understand it!
"This unicorn, which is called giraffe by later generations, is easy to understand as the name suggests. Zheng He brought it back because the local transliteration was similar to 'unicorn,' and thinking that he had discovered an auspicious omen, he captured it and gave it to Judy as a gift."
"In short, Judy is very happy. The auspicious omen proves that his parents are protecting him from heaven, ensuring his victory in every battle. His becoming emperor and moving the capital are all in accordance with the will of heaven!"
"He didn't steal his nephew's throne; it was clearly his father who passed it on to him in the thirty-fifth year of the Hongwu reign!"
Wan Chao's crowd: ( ????? ) ?? - That's exactly the kind of thing he's capable of doing!
